Do you
live on the farm?
Hi! My name is Angela. I live in Atlanta but on my summer holidays I go to my
grandparents' farm and enjoy my time there. They live on a big farm in Greenwood. My
grandparents grow vegetables and keep animals. They have six horses, five cows, ten pigs,
twenty sheep, four goats, fifty hens and chickens, eleven geese, twelve ducks, ten turkeys
and two donkeys, three dogs and a cat. They also have an orchard with a lot of fruit trees
there.
My grandfather John and grandmother Doris are very busy every day. Life is very
interesting there. You have a lot of things to do every day. John and Doris get up very early
and never stop working before the sun sets. The cows, the horses and the sheep often
pasture in the field nearly all day. Doris is busy with the poultry. She feeds them twice a
day. She also feeds the dogs and the cat. John works with the tractor every day. He waters
the trees and the plants. They clean the barn nearly every day. John cuts the grass every
week preparing haystacks for the animals in winter.
I help my grandparents every day. I collect eggs and water the flowers.
I also feed the poultry with my grandmother. But best of all I like to spend my time with
my lovely horse. Its name is Starry. It has very clever eyes and a beautiful tail. I often
bring it bread. I like to ride Starry every morning. It's simply great!
