This past weekend was the spring open house at Baily's Dairy at Pocopson Meadow Farm, and it was full of little animals and little humans -- both very cute. Four-day-old ducklings cavorted in a little blue plastic pool, diving and splashing; we spotted the older generation of ducks swimming placidly in the creek. Two pygmy goats were hugely pregnant and, the sign said, ready to give birth any day. We saw lambs, calves and baby goats (along with some grown-up sheep, cows and goats). A bunch of yellow chicks cheeped as they bustled around their pen, warmed by a heat lamp. A group of bunnies were nestled together so tightly I couldn't tell how many there were.
It may be unnecessary to add that we treated ourselves to a bottle of Baily's unbelievably delicious chocolate milk while we were there.
