Farm Creatures

I share a few pics of the animals we have here. 

We're grateful for fresh eggs and milk. Perhaps I will share some uses for them later on. 

This rooster thinks he's king of the farm. 

He thinks he can drive me off as well...but he's not going to. 



Looking forward (kind of:-) to learning how to milk the cow. She's a big girl and I'm not very big and strong so I hope she's nice and quiet:-) I'm waiting for my youngest brother to come home and teach me. Her calf gets all the milk for now. We have enough in the freezer. 


Some wool producers... 

I saw this creature on the lawn today. It's called a Shingleback or Sleepy Lizard. We have a lot around here. They love it when you feed them fruit. So I gave this one some banana. I'm sure he appreciated it as there is not a lot else around to eat in summertime. He ate a lot...I hope I didn't give him a sore tummy:-)


They can come in a variety of colours. This one a few years ago had more yellow on it. I gave it some orange to eat.


And an evening walk with the farm dogs.
Most of the family are away so the animal work has fallen to me. I'm grateful to be out in the peaceful countryside doing such things. Praise God for blessings from the animals in our care. 

"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
(Genesis 1:25-27)
