We have other semi-frequent visitors to our yard from the farm fields surrounding, which gratefully help to keep our lives from growing dull. On a number of occasions, I have been surprised in the middle of a sunny afternoon to hear a loud thunderstorm brewing. But upon further inspection, discovered that the cause of the noise was an entire herd of giant draft horses, thundering through the grass in front of my door.
Other times, it might be some cows finding new pasture in my watered yard, or perhaps some chickens or guineas which have wandered over to help pick the blackberries. But whoever the visitors are, we shoo them off with a smile, glad to be entertained by such lively guests, if they do cause us a bit of trouble from time to time.
Best of all are our many neighbors, which cheerfully show up at all hours to usher the goats back into their pen, gently prod the cows back home, or are there with a smile for any other job, big or small.
So, if you ever need a little more interest in your life, we and our farm friends can help you find some. 😊 ~Helen
Helen never seeks the limelight, but she’s quite talented at many things, including music (piano, singing, songwriting), calligraphy, and cooking. I’ve encouraged her to share more, and just now set her up on Instagram. Consider following along if you enjoyed this piece:)
