I R E A L I Z E D a long time ago that I would never thrive on a farm for any serious length of time. I adore farms, I love hard, dirty work and I like animals- but- I just can't handle it all the time. These days I have been living vicariously through my friends, many of whom have their own farms. On days when I cannot visit them, I catch up on this adorable blog...

Zoo Payne is the farm/blog belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Payne and their two daughters. The Paynes are currently living their dream on a farm in Norway, punctuated by various adventures around Europe.

Here is a brief look at their pastoral world...

Be sure to check out The Zoo Payne blog. Its like a charming day in the country.
