Of Creatures and Thanksgiving

Standard

November has been a nice month in Elfland. The weather was pretty warm, plenty of sunshine to feel good about.

We spent a lot of time at the indoor pool, and doing other normal activities such as reading Harry Potter, cooking warm soups and crafting. Here’s a range of pics showing all that we have achieved this month.

We were leafing across a magazine the other day and saw a little boy jumping around in a cow’s water vat. The cows were just patiently waiting for him to finish his bath so that they could get a drink. How sweet! It got me thinking about the unique and interesting personalities farm animals have, and how friendly they are if you give them the time and space.

Since keeping chickens we have already seen the sweetness of those farm animals. They will come running when they see you, or follow you around even if you have no food, just because they are curious or want a hug! I also had some interesting encounters with a couple of cats this month. They just sat around patiently as I photographed them.

These animals served to remind me about how lovely they are and how callously we usually treat them.

Finally, it was thanksgiving this week. We had a very nice day, although I spent most of it in the kitchen. The feast was worth it! We followed it up with a Harry Potter movie. Was a mellow and a blissful day.
