Afternoon Delight
by fig + fauna farm on 02/17/12
At 4:30 pm, these are forces of nature that lure me outside. Hunger, curiosity and excitement are alive in each of the animals during the moments before I feed them. The anticipation fills me from head to toe, while they eagerly wait for their provisions. Molasses, oats and hay are on the menu. The sound of grains being scooped from the barrel, sends them over the top and they lean their bodies in for a smell. Watching them vigorously eat is an equivalent to seeing a child at a carnival - overloaded with pleasure senses. While they are immersed in eating, I finally have the chance to satisfy my fingertips by the touch of their wild hair.
