After a late night at the potluck and fire we had a slow start to our Saturday. In the afternoon the kids and I were able to go on a little adventure. Some of our friends are part of a CSA and they were not able to go and pick up their food that week. They invited us to pick up the food and enjoy it. What a blessing.
It took a little while to get to the farm. The farmer gave us the food and invited us to come see her chickens. There were A LOT of them. She went and got a crate of damaged veggies and allowed the kids to toss things over to the chickens. We asked her if the chickens have names. She said every one has a name and they all have the same name, Bobby! Their heads bob so that is how they got the name. The kids fed them for a LONG time. M loved throwing the tomatoes really far. The chickens would flock to wherever the latest thing landed... like preschoolers on a soccer field! It was hilarious. I was able to appreciate the chickens so much more than usual since they were safely behind a tall fence!
I enjoyed talking with the farmer and she even showed me her home. She and her husband built and live in a "tiny house." While I have toured many of them on buzzfeed when I should be sleeping, I had never seen one in real life. They are quite fascinating to me. I think it would be fun to do as a couple, but pretty impossible with kids, at least for me.
Our day turned out to be much more of an adventure than we imagined!
