Jordanscollected’s Hobby Farm
-
A couple months ago I entered a photo we took last fall into the Hanover photo competition. This was the first time they held the competition and the criteria was you have to live in the city, and the photo must be taken within city limits. While most people took photos in places around town, we just needed to step into the back yard and catch Nola looking out into the mist.
Anyhow we took first place. The same woman got 2nd and 3rd and I could maybe hear her angry that she got beat by a guy in a denim vest.

@jordanscollected that’s a beautiful pic congrats on taking home 1st place. How’s farm life?

@SKT Thanks Sean! Farm life is great, but I have to admit I wasn't fully prepared for every hobby to get shelved.
The golf clubs are full of spider webs, the boat (currently in the shop) was collecting dust, my pool table is disassembled in the garage. Even horseback riding has been difficult to find the time to do. I do still play softball on Thursday nights.
On the plus side, I also wasn't prepared for how relaxing and rewarding a full day of chores and hanging around the farm with the ducks and chickens and horses would be. some weekends we close the gate at the end of the driveway and don't open it till Monday morning.

We always said we weren’t getting a rooster. No way no how. Then we got a request from an old family friend to take in a rooster who’s hens all died this summer. One picture and my mind changed.
This is “Zucchini” or “Zucch The Duke”. He’s a Silky Blue and he’s still recovering from fighting with our top hen for pecking order.
His best trait is using treats to lure women. If we give him a piece of grape, he drops it and calls the hens to come get his offering.
