April On The Farm And FFF

Peter in the garden

I'd like to start my post

by saying that our hearts and prayers go

out to all those who experienced the

terrible tornadoes over the last couple of

days especially those who lost loved ones. 

April is nearly over

and I must say that this

has been the coolest and driest

spring I have ever seen here in Kansas.

Yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL day.

Finally!

So I grabbed my camera and took 

a few pictures around the farm.

This is our 3rd summer living in the country

and it still thrills me to see some of the

HUGE and strange farm equipment

working in the fields around 

our farm.

The farmer must have been watching the

weather as yesterday was a fairly

calm day and perfect for spraying.

Today however...is another story

with wind gusts of 45mph

predicted for this 

afternoon!

Later today I'll be planting the baskets

on my bike.

Lizzy followed me around as I took pictures.

So did Olly.

Lizzy looking for trouble.

REALLY!

You can see from the 

photo above that

she's feeling pretty frisky.

Right after I took this picture she 

and Olly started chasing each other

but they were too fast for me to get a photo.

We got some new chickens last 

Sunday.

They are Golden Laced Cochin Bantams.

They are the sweetest little chickens

and have beautiful markings and color.

Above is the little rooster

Kahlua.

Doesn't he have a cute fluffy butt! 

I've named the girls Espresso who is above

 Cappuccino and Cafe au lait.

Below is Kahlua the rooster

again.  

It's Farm Friend Friday again
