And on that farm he had . . . . . . .

. . . a tractor! This is what we took our tour on around the grounds at Summers Mill.

At the entrance to the grounds there was this fence - it made me smile every time I saw it.

Here's a close up of it. They were all different bikes, but had been sprayed white. You can probably click on the pictures to enlarge them.

So let's go see some animals. . . . here's mamma donkey and her baby. The little guy was trying to hide under his mommy's belly, but she wasn't so shy and came right up to the fence to see us.

This might be Daddy Donkey?

These two beautiful guys were in a pen with the goats, and seemed rather curious as we drove by.

Mr. Ostrich didn't even want to say hello.

This is a reindeer! We were told he'd just lost his antlers. Apparently reindeer lose their antlers every year, then they grow back again. I've never heard of this, and I don't know how long it takes to grow them back? I might have to search on the web for more info on that.

This is a young reindeer (I think - he was in the same field as the big guy, so I don't think he's a deer). Looks like he hasn't even grown his first set of antlers?

There were a few other animals like llamas, goats and little shetland ponies, but the tractor had to speed up a bit as we were getting late for our afternoon conference to start (he'd already taken one group on the tour) so some of my pictures were a little too blurry to show.

I hope you enjoyed the tour! :-)
