This Easter weekend I headed out to my grandparents farm in rural Alberta. When I was younger I used to stay out there for extended periods of time and I still love coming back. It's classified as a llama farm but they also keep cows, chickens, peacocks, peasants, and chuckers. I figured I'd take the opportunity to take some pictures from the trip.

The burning pile. One of his trucks went up in flames last year from an electrical fire while dumping a load off here.
They had a tornado a few years ago and there are still signs of it.

We found some antlers.
Skull of a dead cow. This was from last year. Apparently cows like to lie in the mud when they want to die. My grandpa pulled her out once with a tractor but when back an hour later and she was back in it but dead.

Happy the cat. He stays outside or in the quonset.

He built the windmill last year for a little project.

I used to sit on these rocks for hours and watch the llamas.
This is so great. My grandfolks have property 'up north' too -- but where I'm from that means northern Michigan. 'Sitting on the rocks watching llamas' sounds great.
