Pictures from our Weekend

Another Monday. Another day occupied with the "weekend cleanup". Instead of talking about boring things like that I have a couple of pictures to share.

Babies

I should say calves. Babies is probably a little misleading. Yesterday evening T and I went looking for the cows since they hadn't been around the house in a couple of days. We grabbed a bucket of feed and started walking. On the way we wondered what they thought was so good about being in the pastures in the back; the hay is right next to our house... and we were pretty sure there wasn't a hidden field of luscious green grass back there. We spotted them in the pasture behind the barn and they were excited to see us. Especially when they saw the feed. Then we saw this

A pretty baby girl. She is probably just a couple days old and almost walked right up to me. At the last second she turned and ran the opposite direction. She has such pretty, long, white eyelashes. Such a surprising delight.

I just ran outside because I thought it was raining. That's the trickery of screen windows and a light fog. And a cloudy morning. I wouldn't mind if it rained again. Not at all.

Anyway, she's a cute calf and I have three kids crawling on me so I have to go. See you tomorrow!

A New Baby

This weekend one of our cows had her first baby. 

My goodness, isn't he adorable?

Here they are resting in the shade.

I think I'll go find some shade, too.

Randomness vol. 3

Rose had her check up yesterday and was declared "PERFECT"! (Totally rocked my world)

She was scarfing down animal crackers and didn't care who was looking.

She didn't even pause for the doctor. She just kept stuffing them in her mouth during her exam. 

We got back to my mom's house and the kids ran around outside. And fought over the swing.

He is way too big for that thing. As he would say, "Ba-diculous".

Then I walked around to the front yard and saw these adorable calves. (They are part of my brother's herd)

The black one (on the right) was born the day before. Both of them were being so playful. We watched them for a good 5 minutes and then they got all tuckered out and took a nap.

Look at those ears! I just wanted to grab him and take him home and keep him for a pet. I don't know what I'd name him though. It's also too early for me to actually think about names. 

What would you name him?

Have a fabulous weekend!
