Life on the farm

I was a little concerned when we first arrived and found out all the many tasks that were involved in taking care of the animals at this housesit.
But there turned out to be many positives too.Including all the wildlife that was seen in and around the area. We saw many beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Seeing the sunrises was thanks to the early feeding of the horses. There was an incredible number of species of birds. Gecko's galore, including the unique sounding tokay geeko, which lived in the house and occasionally made his call known to us. Even though it's very rare to see, we were able to see two snakes. Including what google and I both believe to be a spitting cobra. The farm ducks increased in numbers. There were three little ducklings at one time, but only two by the time we left. We were witness to multiple violent duck fights. I never realized just how mean ducks can be.
While I walked some of the horses around the hillsides and through the beautiful bamboo forest, Anna got to get her horse riding fix in, or at least part of it.
We witnessed a lunar eclipse. I performed CPR unsuccessfully on a neighbor. And not related, but we got to go to a traditional Thai funeral.
We made friends with the locals.
Despite the many challenges that we were faced with and the fact that we were unable to do a lot of the sightseeing we had planned, life on the farm is pretty good.Leia mais
