Richardson Family Farm is best known in the northern suburbs of Boston, for its unique flavor of ice cream, and for being a small dairy farm in northern Massachusetts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is another quite famous ice cream farm in the northwest suburbs of Boston: Kimball Farm, which is so famous that when the Prime Minister visited the United States and came to Massachusetts ******a few years ago, he went to Kimball Farm to taste the ice cream there.

The Richardson family farm was close to where we were staying, only a dozen minutes away by car. The family farm is not very large, but it has a long history, dating back more than 100 years.

Every year when the spring flowers are warm and the weather is warmer, we often take Dudu to Richardson Farm to see the cows and eat ice cream. Cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are nothing new to us, but for most Americans, after all, they have not seen much of the world, so they are curious. On weekdays, the farm is bustling with tourists, and the farm has also opened up some of its grounds to satisfy the curiosity of tourists. Every time he comes to the farm, he does two things: he eats ice cream and looks at the cows.

This is a dairy farm, a very ordinary ice cream storefront. On a sunny day, it's always crowded in the afternoon.

The farm's cowshed is full of cows.

In fact, this is a delivery room, and the people who are qualified to stay here are cow mothers, and they will give birth to calves in 2-3 weeks. Look at that cow's big belly. Counted, it's really a lot, there are nearly 100 cow mothers, but the smell is very bad, you know.

Dudu mooed at the cowshed, and actually called a cow.

Dudu looked at the cow, and the cow stared at Dudu, both of them curious about each other. Now Dudu is a lot bolder, and he actually went up and touched the cow's head when the cow lowered its head.

This is the calf nursery, and the calves born to the cow's mother are sent here.

These are calves that have just been born. The treatment seems to be good, and each calf has its own independent tent.

When a calf is born, it has earrings on its ears and a tag with a number on it, which is probably the name of the cow, as well as the date of birth. This calf was born on April 19 and has only been around for more than 2 weeks. Little Dudu is busy feeding the calf grass, very loving.

Calves are sent here after birth and stay there until they are 8 weeks old. They drink 2 quarts (more than 2 liters) of milk every morning and evening, and eat grass and grains, and after two years the calves will grow to 1,100-1,200 pounds (1,000-1,100 pounds) and begin to produce milk.

Xiao Dudu was performing a performance, which attracted the little American girl next to her to be eager to try.

There are a few strange-looking sheep in captivity.

Dudu became interested in the little American girl next to her, and kept going around the little girl, trying to talk to the little girl. The girl is a little proud, and she doesn't answer Dudu Ai.

Dudu was not discouraged, the little girl followed wherever she went, and led the way, but she was attentive. In the end, the little girl is going home with her family, and Dudu has to follow, not even Dudu's father and mother. finally persuaded him, and Dudu was still a little reluctant. Watching the little girl's car leave, he asked vigorously, "Will she come again tomorrow?"

It seems that we have to take the opportunity to educate Dudu well:

"Dudu, what are you doing?"

"I'm playing with the little girl. (The grammar of this sentence never gets corrected, Khan.) )

"You're saying you're playing with a little girl, right?"

"That's right. ”

"But the little girl doesn't know you. ”

"yes, I don't know her either. ”

"People don't know you and don't play with you, why do you want to play with her?"

"yes, but I just like to play with her. ”

Dud's father and mother were speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, Dudu knows how to stalk the girls he likes at such a young age, and it seems that he doesn't have to worry about his personal affairs in the future.

This is the farm's chicken coop. Americans come out with toddlers to play, and many of them are led by ropes in this way.

The farm is multi-faceted. No, a large area has been opened up as a golf driving range, and the course business is usually very good.

Two 18-hole miniature golf courses have also been opened. Miniature golf doesn't require much golf skills, and Americans often come out as a family to play miniature golf just to have a good time.

The spring cold is steep, 14-15 degrees Celsius on this day, the wind is not small, and it still feels cold when it blows. But in the United States, it's not uncommon to see your arms and thighs bared at any time on such days.

Enough fun, Dudu is going to eat ice cream, and there are a lot of people outside.

The price of ice cream is not expensive, which is fair, and it is said that they have 85 flavors of ice cream.

This kid eats deliciously. While eating, he said, "I'll eat first, and I'll share it with you later." "It's nice to know that good things have to be shared with others.

This is a family portrait of the farmer's family.

You know what it means to not be able to eat, so let's go around.

Every year in April, the spring flowers bloom, everything recovers, the birds sing happily, and it is a vibrant scene.

When Dad went to work in the morning and reversed the car out of the garage, he saw two birds playing under the balcony. When the bird saw the car, it fluttered and flew away. Dad got out of the car curiously, looked under the balcony, and saw a bird's nest. It turned out that the young couple had built a happy little home underneath and planned to settle here.

But to be honest, the bird is a bit ignorant of the times when it builds its nest under the balcony, which is not an ideal nesting place, after all, we will often be active on the balcony, and in the summer, we have to pass by the balcony to tidy up the lawn, mow the grass and fertilize it. When Dad saw the Bird's Nest, he felt a little happy in his heart, but he was more uneasy, which reminded Dad of the "tragedy" story of the little red bird's mother last year.

Last year was also the season of spring flowers. Every time I went to the balcony, I could see a little red bird flying not far away under the balcony, looking at us vigilantly. This bird is very common in the northeastern United States, and it is brownish-red from below **** to belly, which looks quite beautiful. I've seen it a lot of times, and I think there might be a nest under the balcony. I went down to look at it, and sure enough, there was a bird's nest on the beam. The balcony of our house is relatively high, on the second floor, supported by pillars, and below is the gravel paved floor, which is a place where little Dudu likes to play very much.

The little red bird was an uninvited guest that made us a little embarrassed for a while, but we still accepted it. In the future, Dud's parents will reduce the number of times they go to the balcony as much as possible, for fear of disturbing the little red bird too much. It's just that Dudu, who was less than two years old at the time, didn't understand these truths, and still went to play under the balcony every day. Seeing the bird's nest, Dudu was even more excited, and wanted to watch it down for a while. Dudu was quite obedient, and every time we stood far away. When the little red bird sees us coming, it will immediately fly to the treetops in the forest behind it, or to the lawn next to it, and look at us nervously. When we were gone, the little red bird flew back to the nest carefully.

That's how they interacted. Then one day, Dudu and Dudu came to the balcony and were pleasantly surprised to find three small heads poking out of the nest. The birds poked their heads out without hesitation, staring straight at Dudu and Dud, and chirping. When Dudu saw the bird, he was even happier and more excited, and he would have to go from afar every day to watch it for a while, and then he would be satisfied to go elsewhere to play.

Day by day, and it was safe and sound. As a result, one day, Dudu's father took Dudu to watch the birds under the balcony. The mother of the little red bird is not there, so she probably went out to find food for the birds. I noticed that the birds were getting fuller, and one of them had jumped out of the nest and was walking up and down the beam, and when he saw us coming, he immediately lay on his stomach and stared at us motionless. Dad was a little nervous, afraid of frightening the little bird, and he could see that it couldn't fly, and if it was frightened, it would be troublesome.

Tell Dudu to stand at a distance and watch the bird. Dudu was still very obedient, and after watching it for a while, we were ready to leave.

Tragedy struck. The moment we turned around, the bird was still frightened, fluttered and flew up and fell onto the lawn. Dad Du's heart was cold, thinking that this was troublesome, even if the little red bird mother came back, there should be no way to get the little bird that couldn't fly back to the nest. Just as he was thinking about how to help it, he saw the little bird crawling and fluttering into the woods and disappeared.

There was no way around it, and Daddy was very depressed and regretted disturbing the bird. Little Dudu is too young to understand what has just happened, and is still playing happily.

In the afternoon, I took a nap and went. Dad Du heard the constant chirping of birds outside the balcony in the house, and it was estimated that the mother of the little red bird came back and found that the child was lost and was anxious. Dud's father said that he was ashamed, thinking that you still have two little babies in the little red bird, so take care of it, and in the future, Dud's father will never take Dudu to the balcony to disturb you.

For a long, long time, the noise of the birds on the balcony gradually died down, and Daddy sighed softly.

The next day, the little red bird was not seen again. Dad Du felt a little bad in his heart, so he quietly went to the balcony to take a look, and the two birds were not seen in the nest, so in order to confirm that Dad Du also moved a ladder to go up to see, and the nest was empty.

Since then, Daddy has never seen this little red bird mother again.

I still don't know what happened under the balcony that afternoon. I hope that the little red bird mother just left this sad place with the remaining two babies in a fit of anger. But I know that this possibility is very low, the baby bird can't fly yet, how can the mother of the little red bird take it away? It seems that I have never heard of a little bird flying in the sky with another little bird. They only said that there were three holes of cunning rabbits, and they had never heard that birds would build several nests at the same time. Building a bird's nest is a huge undertaking for a bird, and it is unlikely that it can be completed in an afternoon. (To be continued.) )
