Five on a Farm We wanted them to be outdoors, enjoy all nature has to offer, and grow up rais- BY SHANNON CREAGER ing animals of their own. We bought our very first home on an acre of our own in northern Arizona. First things first, of course, and it was time to choose our first farm animal. Chickens! Listen, we all know that chickens are the gateway animal to any good farm. We were over the moon excited when we brought our first baby chicks home. The kids loved to help feed them and give them their daily snuggles. We now have a flock of over 20(ish) and far too many roosters, but we love it! I am not sure Tim loves it because I have a new idea weekly for these birds, but I sure appreciate how he humors me. We have two sweet ducks named Rookie and Zippy, and they have the absolute best roommate and secretly our favorite animal on our little farm: a little Kunekune pig named Lulu. It is the most adorable thing to see this trio of unlikely friends on our farm, but they love each other, follow each other around all day, and cuddle up together at night! Besides our animals, we love to gar- den. When we first moved, I had more of a brown thumb, so it has been rewarding to learn how to grow different things and what works and what does not. The kids love to help harvest, and Halloween is always a big hit when they get to carve a bunch of pumpkins that they grow themselves! We love this life we've built and love to share our stories and what we have learned. Our kids are always so involved, and we are so grateful to create these memories with them. We hope to one day own more land and continue to experience all this life has to offer. Thank you for following along and being part of our journey!

TO THE CHILDREN Dear Little Friends : I want to introduce the farmyard peo- ple to you, and to have you call upon them and become better acquainted as soon as you can. Some of them are work- ing for us, and we surely should know them. Perhaps, too, some of us are work- ing for them, since that is the way in this delightful world of ours, and one of the happiest parts of life is helping and being helped. It is so in the farmyard, and although there is not much work that the people there can do for each other, there are many kind things to be said, and even the Lame Duckling found that he could make the Blind Horse happy when he IV Preface tried. It is there as it is everywhere else, and I sometimes think that although the farmyard people do not look like us or talk like us, they are not so very differ- ent after all. If you had seen the little Chicken who would n't eat gravel when his mother was reproving him, you could not have helped knowing his thoughts even if you did not understand a word of the Chicken language.
