Down on the Leman Farm

Kyra reading a book while doing her business
Is she really doing her business?  Yes!!
Visiting her kittens
Feeding the new calves

Letting the calf lick her hand


Let me just begin this post by saying that I was born and raised a town girl.  I don't think I had any pets of any kind growing up and didn't really care to.  Boy has my life changed!!  I never imagined....1.  I would be living in the country  2.  I would have pets, let alone a whole farm. 

It all began with the dogs that moved with us.  Then came the chickens.  After the chickens, we got some kittens.  Then....I was talking to Bart after school one day this week and he tells me that he has a surprise for Kyra and I.  He told me that is was something that we were going to have to do everyday.  My first words were "Not another animal!"  Keep in mind that during our dating days, Bart had bunnies, dogs, a raccoon, and a skunk.  So, you can only imagine what I was thinking.  I came home to 4 baby calves!!  So, we spent the next evening feeding the calves and playing with them.  Kyra is in love with all animals and not one bit scared.  She loves her cows and can't wait to see them everyday when we get home.  She was so mad at me last night when I wouldn't let her play with them because I didn't want her to get dirty.  I will say that I'm still not 100% country girl, but I'm getting more used to the idea! 

I forgot to mention that the first 2 pictures are the beginning of the potty training process.  Kyra has now gone to the bathroom a few times in the toilet!  I just thought those pictures were too funny not to share.
