I could relay so many interesting things that I learned about the Shakers. About their lovely architecture, amazing innovations, penchant for hard-work and quality craftsmanship. Or about their admirable values of gender equality, responsible land stewardship, and pacificism. But as has become a theme of this vacation, I'm going to rave about the animals.
It was lunch time by the time we got to the round barn (which could be a post on it's own, for it's remarkable architecture), and we were lured to the pens by loud, raucous bleets, oinks and other bellowing. One little lamb in particular, Alice, followed the farmer around like a puppy, and it was this adorable little lamb that I got to bottle-feed!
