A Farm Girl's Dream

I don't live on a farm, but I was raised on a farm.  My parents had horses, ponies, birds, dogs, cats, and the occasional turtle.  Now they have alpacas on their farm.  I dream of having my own farm.  But first I will have to learn how to drive a tractor.  Maybe Grandpop can teach my boys how to use his.

Kids that grow up on a farm are happy right? And goofy sometimes :)

I'd like to have a log cabin style ranch house with a huge wrap around porch.

I'd love to have a photo studio and do portrait photography on my farm.

What kid wouldn't want to grow up playing in the woods?  I know my boys are so happy being outdoors.



Especially when they play with sticks and poke by camera.

I'd like to grow things on our farm too.

I'd have lots of bird houses for the boys to terrorize check on.

Grow some grapes to make our own jelly.

I'd grow lots of flowers in my garden.

Tiny will be in charge of smelling them :)

We might even have a pumpkin patch.

We'll have a swing set too.

A man made pond for fishing and swimming.

Of course we'd have a tire swing.

Every night we'd go out and play with the alpacas and have races in the field.

Look there's a rainbow on Jatoba. She is so sweet.

I'd give my alpacas photography posing lessons at night. Make sure they all know how to line up nicely.

Then we'd take a golf cart ride at dusk and look for owls.

But see some doves instead perched under the willows.

And a Red Tailed Hawk looking for some dinner.

I see you hiding on that limb little bird.

But when it gets too dark we'd head inside and try our owl hunt the next night.

But since we don't have a farm we are very lucky to get to go to my parents farm whenever we want.  Maybe someday I'll have my own farm with 3 merino sheep, 3 cashmere goats, 3 alpacas, chickens, and dogs.  Oh and maybe the occasional turtle.  I'd sit on my big porch knitting, spinning yarn and take lots of pictures.
