I’ve been so busy with work I have not had much time to post, so here are some weekend updates.

First of all, we have more leaves on the ground than on the trees these days.

Leaves

Our first calf of the season is has been in the coral for a little while. He had a bit of a tummy ache for a couple of days (scours), but after a little treatment, he seems to be doing well.

Today is a beautiful day.  72 degrees right now.  Nice!   It’s nice to hit a pretty day on the weekend.  It makes it a bit easier to do some “catch up” farm chores.  This nice weather is not supposed to last long, so Anna and I did some preparing for the coming weather.

I try to keep kindling on the porch where it’s dry.  It’s no fun trying to cut up kindling for a fire when it is snowing outside.  The process starts here, on the chopping block in front of the wood shed.

Then into my fancy bucket 😉

On to the porch… ready for the next fire

On the porch

We really did not need more wood on the porch, but since it was so pretty outside we topped off the wood pile.

Well, that is the quick update.  More to come later.  Like the 2nd calf moving to the coral, etc.
