The Wedding Quilt...


We live along the Big Elk River...


When we rise in the morning, 

we see the Elk through the fog,

grazing just outside the yard fence...





The Elk are calving right now and will 

bring their calves into our hay fields in June...





Two winters ago an orphan elk calf took up

with our cow herd and ate hay right off

the hay truck when we fed each morning...





When you live in this little valley,

you learn to live with the elk...





Our neighbors are getting married in August...






They also live along the Big Elk River...





This Elk quilt will be just right for them !





We are still calving now.  No time to run out

and purchase the perfect fabrics,

so I am pawing through the fabric cupboards

and making do with what I already have.

The quilt is coming together bit by bit.



We have been calving 

for more than 2 months now...


still feeding cattle in the mornings

and checking for newborn calves 

several times a day...




The first time heifers have just begun

to have their calves....3 babies so far.

This is Eleanor with her very first calf.

She is a wonderful mother.  It is a pleasure

to watch her care for her calf.
