Easter / Kidwell Farm
In observance of the season of renewal, yesterday we stopped by Frying Pan Park to see the baby animals at Kidwell Farm. In the big barn were 6 lambs (several weeks old), a litter of piglets (10 days old, pink and cute), and a just-days-old kid (a real kid - a baby goat). All were cute, but the kid was frisky and just adorable. I could've stayed a long time just looking, but DH has a shorter attention span.
So we wandered out to the hen house and the rabbit hutch. No babies either place, but the white and black rabbits looked soft, silky and content.
Further down the lane, we arrived at the peacock pen just as the peacock was folding up his tail. We caught a glimpse of it fanned out as we were walking up. He was radiant, even on a cloudy day. His neighbor, a black (wild-looking) turkey was also displaying. I had never seen that before. A strange sight - his head and wattles in various shades of blue and red, all feathers fanned out, accompanied by very odd sound effects.
