Farm living is the life for me!

On Monday, March 19, we travelled from Greensboro down to Asheboro to enjoy some life on the farm. Dogs, Cats, Horses, Geese and anything that walks up off the road all live in harmony (controlled chaos) at Mom's farm in Happy Hollow.

Here you can see Hayley and Jack with the oldest horse on the farm. This horse that the kids all seem to love once bucked me off his back when I was in high school. I still don't get near him if I can avoid it.

Below you can see that Hayley and Jack really get into the swing of things quickly at the farm. They mix all the grains with Grandy to make sure the horses get all their proper nutrition while the fields don't have grass in them.

There are 8 horses on the farm right now and they eat a tremendous amount of food. The picture above is of the barn loft. At the beginning of the winter, the loft is full of hay. Looks like they'll have just enough hay to last until the spring breaks and the horses can graze in the fields.

The weather has warmed up again and last night was the first night that Jack and I spent in the camper. We had a good time just camping out on Mom's farm. Hayley is still a little congested from all the pollen so she and Cindy camped out in Tata's house.

Serendipity has chased us down once again. I opened the Asheboro newspaper yesterday to find that the annual Kiwanis Club pancake supper will be held today. The pancake supper is a little Asheboro piece of Americana and is not to be missed. They serve pancakes all day long and then raffle off prizes donated from local businesses while you eat. We'll be saving our appetite all day in preparation for the big event.
