Farm Kid

Not long ago I read an eloquent article that discussed and focused on the loss of the "family farm" in today's "rural America." It made me stop and think about how I grew up as a child and probably more importantly, how I wanted Wyatt to grow up. What values would we instill?
So here are some pictures of how "rural America" looks from his perspective.

Her name was "Henny."

Some how they became buddies. She would let him carry her all over the farm. Who would think that a chicken would be the latest pet.
Jasper doesn't like to share Wyatt with "Henny" but he quickly learns to get over it.

"What?? You mean every 2 1/2 year old boy doesn't have a pet chicken??!!
How can that be mama??"

I know he is hoping for more chicks this year.
We'll see.....

Hugs-M
