Cobblestone Farm

Kaylie was reluctant to go outside today. Once we got out there, though, she was very happy. We headed for Cobblestone Farm under a blue sky, incredible sun and warm air for January! This may have been my favorite visit there so far, because the animals were more playful then they've been in a while. Two small goats kneeled upon stumps, nibbling bark, and the white pony with the thick fur, long eyelashes, and tiny ears stood near the doorway looking so pretty that I almost couldn't believe it. There were ducks and chickens walking about being themselves, and there was a shaft of sunlight in the barn that made the whole picture look just like a scene from Charlotte's Web. Kaylie fed snow to the goats. Later we made and threw snowballs and constructed an extremely cute snowman; small with twig arms and a thistle for a nose! Oh I almost forgot the funniest thing: every time the rooster crowed, Kaylie would tell him "Stop it!"
