Blogging on the block - January 7th

Today started out rainy and cold, but ended up to be a pretty good day. Although school was 2 hours late.

I did go out after the bus ran, and it was so windy. The weather guy says we could have snow tonight, that'll probably be when Snowball has her calf. Although Little Red had her calf this morning. I missed the actual birth, but I got to see it all wet and wobbly. Yes Jody, I got pictures! Just for you!

I'm not sure what it is yet, but its dark brown with a white spot in the middle of its forehead. So cute. Of course she picked the muddiest spot she could find to have it, which wasn't hard to do with all the rain we've had. With all the flooding going on I guess we're just lucky it didn't drown. I got so tickled at it this afternoon, all the cows were standing around and she was going from udder to udder. They just kind of looked at it like not me.

Here is a picture of the calf born on Christmas eve. She's the funniest thing when she get to playing and running. She chases the dogs and they don't know what to think. Her mother is the tall white cow standing in front of her. She's a beautiful little brown/gray thing. So full of life.

This is the 2nd calf, not sure what it is yet either. The mother of it is the yellow and white one standing there with it and the new mother and calf.

Here are a few shots of the creek that runs through the farm, its up pretty high. It must have been up higher during the night, part of the lower field had water standing in it and all the tree pushed up against the others on the side where the creek shouldn't be.

And here is from the other side of the bridge.

Well, I'm off to check my email and clean up the kitchen. Hope you have a wonderful night!
