Ever Feel Like You're Being Used?

Like, all you want to do is take a little nap on a beautiful early spring day, and yet there is an obnoxious rooster perched on your back peck-peck-pecking away at you? Casey & I joined our neighbors Amy & Abby on Wednesday to visit Henry's Ark, a non-profit farm in Prospect. When I saw the poor sheep pictured here, I had to take his picture, because it seemed to appropriately describe how life is like sometimes. In addition to the hen-pecked (ha!) sheep, we witnessed several other comical animal scenes. For instance, a random cat jumped in my truck and attempted to lay down and snooze and had to be shooed off by Amy (I'm frightened of cats I don't know, OK!). Also, we thought we were going to be attacked by this ostrich for the kid's graham crackers (I heard that ostrich's are mean and fast, and this one had a crazy look in his eye).

It's been a week full of animal adventures for Casey & I. On Tuesday we headed over to Versailles to visit the Elberts while the Stann girls were in town. Courtney is lucky enough to have some real, live horses living in her neighborhood, so we walked over to say "howdy". Lightening tried to eat Christa's fingers when she fed him some hay, but that didn't disuade Casey from petting the horses and pitching a fit when it was time to tell them good-bye. He also enjoyed flying a kite in Court's backyard, so it looks like we may have to invest in one soon.
