I think I want a Mini Farm.
And on this farm we’ll have some —
Mini Moos
These cute sheep
Mini goats
Mini horses
And mini donkeys
And to help us get started even before we own a farm we got these mini pigs:
Also known as GUINEA PIGS!
We are practicing our feeding skills, watering skills and giving them exercise. Katie is our resident expert. She has done lots of research so that we know how to care for them. She has learned what their different squeals mean. She can understand them. She is the Guinea Pig Whisperer.
So that is our dream of a mini farm! At least, I think it would be funny to have a mini-farm that is really made up of mini animals. Some of the kids have pointed out to me how difficult it would be to milk a cow that is barely off of the ground.
I told Abby that maybe we would have one full-size milk cow so that we could get milk from it. I’m sure there would be other problems associated with only having mini animals. And many problems associated with having MANY animals.
But for now, it’s a cute dream.
We would definitely have a CUTE mini farm.
Don’t you think?
















"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller







Try silky chickens, too. And have you heard of teacup pigs?
