Oh, Lord, I thank you for the privilege and gift of living in a world filled
with beauty and excitement and variety.
I thank you for the gift of loving and being loved, for the friendliness
and understanding and beauty of the animals on the farm and in the forest
and marshes, for the green of the trees, the sound of the waterfall,
the darting beauty of the trout in the brook.
I thank you for the delights of music and children, of other people's thoughts
and conversation and their books to read by the fireside or in bed
with the rain falling on the roof or the snow blowing past outside the window.

I love farm animals! There are cows everywhere here and I even find the smell comforting now! I know, it's not normal. Haha. Wecan't wait to have a house in the country with goats and chickens and dogs! Well, we can wait but we are excited about that time in our future!
Beautiful pictures; hilarious commentary. Mean goat isn't really MEAN...she just doesn't need PEOPLE.ha
