Life on the Farm

The mountains here can be quite beautiful, this was the view from Yellow wood (were I go to get internet) a couple days ago.
Terry and I went for a walk around a bit of the farm last Sunday. The landscape varies pretty dramatically across the 40 hectare farm. This is from the river about a mile from the cottages.
The farm is mostly what you might find somewhere in America: chickens, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, but partly something you would only find in Africa: elands, bontebok, and springbok. The animals are mostly free to roam around wherever they please, I often have heard grazing outside my cottage, as demonstrated by the goats:
The cottage I am living in is great. It has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, another bedroom, and a small entryway. Between the two cottages (the one Terry is living in and the one I am living in) we have just about everything you would expect. We were able to make Quiche for dinner tonight, taking advantage of the free eggs here.

As I was getting home this evening the sunset turned a bright orange, so I turned around a snapped this picture.
