Image
Well I am not complaining but people need to take care of what they have.  I am tired of doing things that should have been done right a long time ago and kept up. So our weekend consisted of clearing the road back to a field the needs to be sprayed.  Well this is how it went .... Hot, long, workout, time with hubby  awesome Then the Tick count  hubby  to many to remember.  Little guy 1, Me none until the next day and only had one.  Think hubby is sharing a little to much. As you can see the trail is not that good Timber now to cut up and haul off the road This was Sunday's work Got poles up for the grapevines just need to get wire for them to grow on Staked the tomatoes Weeded garden Checked and moved cows my new grapevines potato crib one flowering!!! my garden Zucchini  Cukes my peas one of the many trails we took looking for cows Blackberry blackberry plant 2 visiter

Well its really hard to try and garden with a small child who loves to explore... He is all ways on the go.  expect for the few times he still naps  I am worn to the bone or have other things that need to get done such as  doing the kitchen floor and such.   So here is my gardens... Sweet Purple ASPARAGUS BED  Starting in back row JERSEY SUPREME         MARTHA WASHINGTON SWEET PURPLE  potatoes  the closest have is from potatoes that went to seed  the farthest have is potatoes from a company our  large tomatoes the garden will have to go out later and try to do a panoramic shot Peas  Cherry Tomatoes

So True

Found this on Pintrest!!  so true. Well we were glad to have kiddo home for a week so she could watch little one while we ran our heifer in to doctor for pink eye.  Not fun at all  you would think by now she would know what to do but she is as stubborn as her owner ( Hubby, Kiddo or Ben)   So any how  Kiddo went back to her Aunt's.  Where I am sure she is getting spoiled rotten by riding horses :)  This week we have walked and walked trying to find and check on Miss Thunder (newest calf). With the cooler nights we are hoping that  Sunday has hers.  Is it sad that I want to get our bred and can't wait for them to have babies. I know they are young yet but would love our own little ones to check on. Oh and to my hubby and Kiddo    The snake was not a figment of my imagination!!!  There was a concrete wall  where we meet up to drop Kiddo off and a black snake was on it and my peeps were telling me I was crazy.   Little one and Rosie Little Funny Man Not sure if

Few days behind again.

Kiddo is getting ready to go back to her Aunt's house before we head to Montana  and we have been busy  chasing cows, finding calves, and doctoring.... along with all the is killing snake and seeing lots of other critters We are still one cow left to calve and just had a new sorta unexpected one born from a young heifer thank goodness that the calf was tiny as it was her first time.  But boy is she a cute little thing  her name is Miss Thunder see how tiny Cloudy and Coco Still waiting on this gal Sunday .......

Well   Cows are funny I must admit.   We went to check on the herd  all were there but one of our hefiers and she was no where to be seen. Tad worried as we looked everywhere.  So we were checking on Sunday ( ron's cow) to see if it was close to having hers and I noticed that one of his heifers looks like the bag is filling out uggg and with ours missing it makes me wonder if  she was bred when the bull was in last I hope she was not but not sure why else she would be missing.  So hubby and Kiddo are checking them this morning as it rainy and cool and don't want the little one out in it. But here is CC ( cross country) as when we check on her the first time she got up and ran and stalker had to chase her down. Coco in the back and CC  and her moms Stalker  head  the new baby  cc cc one pretty Stinky Flower  Sunday ( waiting to calve)

Well I just love the spring however there is so much to do.  Our garden is a weed fest as we were gone and it rained. However almost everything came up.  Our tomatoes have flowers!! Anyway today we had to go look for a cow as she was not with the herd yesterday and she is one  who pushes you to get feed and is nosy hubby calls her straight talker and I call her stalker. tried to find her yesterday but the 4 wheeler broke down so after getting it fixed it was almost dark.  So this afternoon we found her and her new baby CC  (not sure if that will be the name it depends on its gender. But it looks similar to Cocoa  no picture yet as  I forgot my phone at home. So we only have one more cow that needs to have hers. Cocoa I am really enjoy the country life.  We have a bluebird house up and  they are using it. this is the male  besides the Bluebirds  we have  3 hummingbirds that come to the feeder  they are so fun to watch. They are a tad fast for the camera. Here are
