Sweet nostalgia! I’ve never lived on a farm, but growing up surrounded by pastures and farmland allowed me plenty of opportunities to appreciate them (…which I didn’t until I left Iowa. Funny how that works.) I have fond memories of chasing barn cats, picking concord grapes and skipping over hay bales — which resulted in scratched knees that smarted all summer — at my grandma’s farm. (It was worth it.) Whenever I visit my homeland I relish the sights and smells of doe-eyed cows, saucy chickens, and gentle horses. Nicole of Habit of Being’s beautifully photographed chickens make me want a little hen house of my own here in the city. The thought of little chicks running around makes my toes curl!
I would love my own chickens! We had a chicken coop when I was growing up, but I didn’t really appreciate it either. I remember them pecking at me and playing with the cute little baby chicks.
Looks like a fun day at the farm!
