What! An Owl?!

I went outside one morning, thinking about what I normally think about when walking outside. I was feeding the animals and the goats were swarming around me as usual. I went into the barn and almost wet my pants. To my surprise, there was a HUGE owl tearing off flesh from our rooster.

 We sat and gazed at each other until my heart started beating again. Then, I dashed inside and started at my mother for a couple seconds. I tried to blurt out the words from my mouth but I was busy catching up with my breath. I told my mom and we went back outside with out PJ's still on. The owl was still there, eating Mavis (our rooster). I slowly walked up to the owl and poked it with a stick, surprisingly, he did nothing but stare right into my eyes. Me and my mom did not know what to do with this owl. So, went went inside and started to call all these people. Finally a person answered and...

Can you guess how this story will end...?

Baby Chickens

These baby chickens we given to us from a good farm friend. Their breed is called a Silkie. Their feathers are almost like fur. They can be really friendly if you give them lots of TLC.

New Mini Horse Jake

I finally got a horse!!!!!

Jake
I have been waiting ALL my life for this moment. He is a stallion who can be stubborn at times. His color is what they call Buckskin. However, most of the time he looks brown more than he looks like a buckskin due to him rolling in the mud every day. Not to mention  East TN has been getting too much rain lately. He is a big lover too. Me and my friends try to ride him if he is in a good mood. He is a stocky, well built little guy. We are trying to get him on a diet right now. I believe he enjoys his new home very much. Oh and he is 14 years old, which is about mid-age for horses.
