Our Epic Northwestern Journey – Part 21 – Farm Life

After a full of day of fun adventures on the train, to the Sleeping Giant Winery and the gardens of the Research Centre, we still had a couple more stops to make before calling it a day, and heading back to Maureen and Milos’ for yet another delicious dinner and another round of game night competitions.

First we stopped at the store to pick up dinner ingredients. Then to the farm for eggs where Maureen likes to buy her eggs direct from a local farmer. All the farm animals came out to greet us and were very curious about us.

The dog was the first to greet us with his tail wagging.

Then the cat.

The chickens and roosters then started to venture out to us as well.

This farmer had a ton of chickens too. He sells his eggs to a lot of the local stores as well as to individuals. I think the white chickens are the ones that produce his eggs for the stores, and the other chickens are the ones that produce the eggs he sells to individuals.

But the sheep were the funniest. At first, one came up to greet me, then another, followed by a few more, and then all of them came running up to me. I was like Little Bo Peep with her sheep. 🙂

I guess I speak their language. We are all all laughing together. 🙂

I always tend to make friends with all the animals. I guess I am related to Dr. Dolittle. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe, stay well, and make friends with whomever you meet along the way. ‘Til next time.

  1. Thank you Dr Doolittle aka Jeanne, for your delightful account of your visit to a farm. As always, the camera in your hands brings the life to your words. I loved meeting all the farm animals, and your message about making friends with the world is wonderful and has to be followed!

      2. Thank you. I find writing very therapeutic. My background includes both writing AND food. I have a BA in English Literature and wrote copy for PSAs and worked in Public Relations, where most of our clients were food producers or marketers. Plus, as you know, I am also a trained chef. It’s the best of both worlds. 🙂

      3. One of the reasons, we get on so well, Jeanne, is that we have a lot in common! I also have a degree in Literature, and a post-grad diploma in PR, Marketing, and Advertising. I amassed 10.000 plus books for my home library, trained to be a book and theatre critic, had my restaurant that had dinners writing amazing reviews, and I love nature and animals. In my blog, I have a series about the best books in the world, and also a series about travel and animals.
