Windy

Over the river to view the woods

Even the frogs are snuggling down

Kite flying weather this day. I swear the big old moon was bobbing around in it when I came down the stairs this morning. Said wind and moon were quite a surprise as we retired to the tune of still more rain. Glad it stopped.

Thanks to the rain we are back to routine catch up jobs and buttoning up for winter, until the fields dry enough to get back on them. We pulled Scotty out of the pen she was in with some other heifers and gave her a nice big stall as she is going to calve pretty soon. She was plenty tame and gentle when she went into the pen. Nowadays, not so much. She is only half Jersey, the other half being milking shorthorn and Holstein in equal parts, but the side she shows the public is that stubborn Jersey bit.

You wouldn't think a little bitty cow like her could be that adverse to cooperation but she surely was. Of course Liz needed to get done early, which was probably why she put up such a discussion.....they KNOW when you need to get done and react accordingly. The CO in cow is not synonymous with the CO in cooperate.

It's so good to be back here and smiling at unCOWoperative heifers and watching the moon bobble in the wind.

Ah yes . .it's good to be home after battling my own rain and muck and mire.

PS Mom seems to be adjusting better than anyone anticipated. Whew :)
