Gift of Eggs
Backyard Poultry
Egg Carton
Although we could eat all the eggs we got, we also gave them away as gifts. The ones above were for our landlord, who operated this farm for many years. The livestock has been long gone except for a few barn cats—until our chickens arrived. In the old barn you can still see the milking stalls, the cattle walk for loading cows on the truck, the musty hay loft, and some old machinery. The family who milked the cows always lived in the house here. So I think our landlord is happy to see farm animals on the place once again!

Neat story. A lot of old farm houses seem to be sitting empty these days. (Or worse, covered over with new housing developments.)
Yes, it is sad to see how many small farms being turned into housing developments. There's not quite anything like raising livestock on a farm that's been run for so many years.

What a privilege to live in such a place.

It must be a blessing to be able to live in a place like that with such a nice landlord.
