First things first...I get up in the morning, have some breakfast, get dressed and then I am ready to start my day!! My Mom helps me into my farm chore clothes, including my rubber boots and my yellow rain jacket. Its hard work being a farmer you know.
After I am dressed for my chores I go out and help my Mommy feed the critters. Here I am visiting with my pal, Nesbitt. He is the bottle baby goat that used to live in our porch. We are great friends now and he comes for walks with us. He is learning to pull my John Deer wagon. I am showing him an electric fence insulator. When I am done feeding the animals I help Mommy do fencing. I am a great help and pass her the insulators and the screws while she attaches them to the fence. We are a great team.
The goats aren't the only animals that we care for on our farm. We also have to be sure that our good old friend, Maude, is kept fed and watered. If Maude is healthy she will give us lots of creamy milk. She is sure a great gal!
When our chores are done we come in for some lunch. Mommy sometimes shares a special treat, like chocolate pudidng! She sometimes laughs and says she knows what I will look like in 30 years. I don't really know what that means, do you?
After a hard day of farming I like to have a little "down time". I usually have an afternoon nap, then kick back with my "Mighty Machines" DVD to learn about the intricacies of farm machinery. I love to learn how hay bines and silage wrappers work. Mom doesn't really like me to watch TV but she says I might as well get an education about how to operate farm machines so I can take over when I'm 4 years old.
After my DVD Daddy comes home and its PLAYTIME!! We have supper, a bath and go to bed. Its time to rest up for another day of hard work on the farm!
Love you lots!
