Frances on the farm

After a major act of consumerism (it involved a new-to-us car!), we headed to the Natick Community Organic Farm to wash away that sinful feeling.  The Farm, as its people refer to it, is a  "nonprofit, certified-organic farm providing productive open spacefarm products, and hands-on education for all ages, year-round."  And it's free!  Most of the usual suspects were represented: cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, sheep and a cat.

Frances took a gander at the rabbits.


They are so much more pleasant in big open pens than in the wooden boxes I'm used to.


Some lovely chickens (no Frances in this picture; I just liked it).


Frances was pretty sure she could pet a chicken, but no chicken took her up on her offer.


Frances's favorite was the barn cat.  I pointed out to her that we see cats around the neighborhood everyday, but she wasn't dissuaded.


My favorite: daffodils!  


Spring is coming!
