*Ahem* (Slightly overdue post)

     As is mentioned in the post title, I am afraid I'm a few days late. Oops. For those of you put off the blog entirely by this, don't worry, there isn't much to post now anyway. There will be, however, in a few weeks when calving starts! (You might want to forget your anger by then so you can see the pictures of... (drum roll) baby calves!!!! (No, the hype was not unnecessary even if I had already mentioned calving season.) Seeing as it's wonderfulness is approaching us, I thought I would talk a little about that.

     Calving season may start early this year due to our bulls getting out. (See this and this) It could start in early February rather than March. Currently all we have to do for the cattle is feed them in the morning and the evening and be certain they have water, but our duties will directly increase to early morning and late night checks to see if anyone has calved. This is mainly for the younger cows -especially first timers- because they are more likely to have problems in birth. For me and my many siblings, it also includes guessing which cows will calve first. =D Ones I noticed this morning were Miss Combobulated and Abigail. I'll tell you if my notions go anywhere.
     That pretty much sums up my last week, thusly drawing this post to a close. Thank you for reading! *deep bow*

AHHHHHHHH!

     Why haven't I posted!!!!! Sadly, I believe there is no answer to that question that would justify such a long pause. Thusly, I would like to plead temporary insanity and ask for a sentence of posting once a week for three weeks. All in favor? Keep reading! All against? Close the tab!

Rippin' off shingles

     That said, I probably now have no readers, but hey, I'll write anyway.

Moo-ving cows!

     In the *shudder* 7 months since I have posted, lots of things have happened, first of which was the backpacking trip we took with our church. What an amazing adventure (and test of stamina for me)! Also, we re-shingled. That took a LONG time... Then, we moved our cows across the road. Anticlimactic, but fun! :) Then... Christmas!!!!! After Christmas, both Farm Boy and I (Farm Girl) had braces put on. And, last but not least, today we gave the cows some shots, which involved moving Tarquin, our foal, thusly we got some good pictures. =D
     Well. That was part I of III of my sentence. Part 2 coming next week!

Tarquin!
