Last weekend, B & I spent a couple of hours at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm. It's a Colonial farm, located on 230 acres of land, which is now open to the public as a museum. Nature walks, events, and lectures are also held at the Farm throughout the year. 

B and I didn't visit the museum, but we spent some time walking around the grounds and fell in love with the gorgeous farm house - circa 1690!

As you probably already know, I'm a huge animal lover and proponent of animal rights, so it warmed my heart to see these animals so happy and well taken care of now.

One of the employees approached us and said she was surprised Amos was being so friendly because he had been badly abused before coming to the farm, and he's "very choosy" when it comes to people. Obviously Amos could sense that we're cat lovers. P9230133 P9230130 The Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm is one of those places I can see us returning to again and again. Next time, I hope we'll be able to enjoy the museum! If you're in the area, you should definitely visit too.

  6. What stunning photos and a lovely place to visit. I adore visiting animal sanctuaries and this looks like a very well kept one- the pig is too adorable for words! I love the peek a boo of floral and the bright shorts- wish it was warm enough to still rock bare legs here!

  11. This looks likes such a charming place to visit. And those animals look so sweet - it is really nice that they get a happy ending in their life instead of being stuck elsewhere.
