This is my new buddy Squirt who is one of the 6 miniature donkeys out at the farm. He loves to follow anyone around like a puppy just lookin' for something to dive into. Lately I've been helping out quite a bit at the farm. The month of August has been extremely busy at the Hildebrandt household with Dale's wedding last weekend, Jojos Corn Maze and 18 Hole Mini Golf, and just everyday chores has kept everyones hands tied. These past few days have been really enjoyable for myself. It's incredibly serene out in the country with the whinnies of the horses and the sqwawks from the chickens...the farm is the place for me. I got to thinking the one afternoon, with Squirt close behind, of the farm or acreage that I hope to have one day of my own. I envision a place where kids can play in the mud, explore, and reap the benefits of what mother nature has to offer and for us as adults it's private, serene, and a place some call home that continuously keeps us grounded. What we call home may differentiate between us all, but it's nice to know we all feel comfortable where we are and our constant drive to share with others. Good people = good homes. Your probably wondering how all these thoughts came about, and my answer would be Squirt. He may not be able to speak, but his actions speak louder than words. He feels at home on the farm wondering around following whoever is in the yard, he enjoys the company of the kids, and always makes it home to the rest of his family at the end of the night. Home is on the farm for me and I can only hope everyone else has a vision of what their "home" is or will be like someday.
