to the Quilt Palace by 10 am...

Every Monday I meet with the 

Harlan Valley Quilters.

Today I am making more T-Shirt Scarves...

These are addicting...

I made these as gifts.....FUN!

Calving Season....2018

The Morning....walk-through

Each day when we get over to the cow barns,

we walk through the herd of 

expectant mama cows

to check for new calves and to see

what cows are in labor...

The cowboy checks on the cows 

in the upper pasture...

I drive down below and check on the cows

in the lower pasture...

We had twins born yesterday:

Twin Heifer Calves

Calf Number 3..... and Calf Number 4

We will keep them penned off with their mama

for a few days...

then turn them out with the herd.

Below is a video of the twin calves:

Below is a video of the yearling cattle.

They crossed the river below the house to eat

the grass along the river bank.

It was going to rain, the river will rise

and they will be stranded on the opposite side,

so we had to herd them back over to our side:
