Farm Adventures: The Duck Attack

Yesterday I visited a farm in Md. I went with no expectations except to catch sunset photos with my friend. Boy was I in for a treat… I walked upon what seemed to be an animal sanctuary of sorts. The entrance you walk past a large grassy fenced in area full of cows. there was one that was limping, which kinda made me sad… I wished I couldve helped her. next we got to the ducks area. that little mean duck came all the way out of its pond over to greet us… or shall I say, cuss us out in duck. seriously, it was ANGRY. ive never been so happy to be fenced off from a creature in my life. excuse my ignorance, i also did not know ducks hiss? like snakes! Oh em Gee hahaha. Despite the verbal slander I received, I remained cordial with my little duck friend. Even after it tried to bite my friends finger off *gasp*.

Did I mention it was like freeeezing haha. Next, we kept walking on the trail, and came upon a ravishing view. Down further in the open field there was a family of like 50 deer just chilling having a reunion lol. I jokingly suggested we walk down towards them but got scared halfway lol. I very mad at myself about this, i mean, i’m like the animal whisperer… What did I have to be leery of? 

 

We walked back, and visited a nice little horse in its barn. it looked a little small to me (the barn that is) but I guess it was warm. That horse was huge though :(… We were also the only people there.. which i think is great. It was an hour before closing so I guess thats why. Anyway, it was a good day. Reminded me of one the reasons I dont eat meat, and why I love animals. They are so precious to us.

Bleh, Winter Rut

I know its been a while… This weather has thrown me completely off. Actually, its not the weather.. its the fact that by 4 freaking 30 p.m. the sun goes night night. I have a couple of past due posts that will be up VERY soon… but can we talk about this for a second? has anyone found them self in a winter rut? here are the symptoms: night time syndrome (tiredness and/or laziness at the sight of darkness), an “its to cold to go back out” attitude, over indulgence in delectable foods bc its holiday season (and you cant be the only one not eating at the holiday party), eating seems more appealing than going back out, period. If thats you say “aint nobody got time for that”

 

Youre right… nobody has time for that. Soon I will post some tips to bring in the new year right but in the mean time, try to do a little something in the house. Even if this is simply lifting weights, jumping jacks, or using a fitness app for at least 15 minutes out of the day. It makes a difference!!!
