Watch Out, He Bites

This past weekend John was in Vegas so I was left to entertain myself. I drove up to my friend Rob's farm. Since they have a ton of cats we had to find outdoor activities to do. We started the day with coffee on the deck to just chat and catch up. Then we headed to the pumpkin patch nearby. My experience with the pig there let me know I would have no problem raising them and then eating them. They aren't soft and cuddly. I was happy to find little pumpkins with bumps all over. Those are so cute! I didn't carve in time for Halloween, so it's time to bake them up and make pies!

Back at the farm Rob and Jamie had to do some stuff to take care of the horses. This included Rob riding around on the tractor, which was great. Despite them being huge and able to stomp me, I made friends. Then one of the horses took interest in my coat. What started in friendly licking ended with a bite of my upper arm. Arm is not food horse! It only pinched, but the next day it felt like I'd had a flu shot. I surely won't that that deter me from playing with the horses again. But I did give my carrots to the other guy.

And then I got over my fear of chickens. Still don't like other birds, but I now can't wait to raise chickens. They're warm and soft. And they make eggs! the one did flap me in the face with her wings, but that's quite alright.

Of course, I have to stay away from cats with the allergies. I was pretty sniffly the next day after even the limited exposure I had. But you can't deny kittens are cute. Except the one who tried to jump in the toilet while I peed. That one's just weird.

Oh, and at dinner we had amazing tiramisu. Mmmm. I nearly got lost on my way home since the GPS couldn't find a signal for 15 minutes. But I guess I have some sense of direction since I took all the right roads purely off memory! It was a beautiful day on the farm. I'll have to go back since Rob and Jamie shower me with farm fresh eggs and jam when I visit. Yum.
