Farm Friends

Elliot has had a lot of time observing animals these past 2 weeks.
  • He loves watching the local squirrels scamper around (and luckily for him, there is at least 1 per tree around here). Our walks take a long time since we have to stop every 10 feet to watch the squirrel run away.
  • There are chickens in our backyard to watch and feed. 
  • Last weekend we went to Amherst, MA to visit some friends on their horse farm. They also had chickens, goats and a friendly cat. 
  • At the local harvest festival, there was a petting farm area. 
  • And today, we went on a bike ride to a local farm and got to see the rabbits and chickens there. He also did a lot of pointing to the goats, but they weren't very interested in coming over to us.

Chasing the chickens

The draft horses were friendly, but maybe a bit overwhelming.

Finally, almost caught one!

Petting the cat!
