Fall Calves and Garden

 We found a couple more pumpkins hid under the leaves the other day.  Yesss I thought I would only get 6 or so.

 Something must have made their bed in the garden there is a big spot of leaves smashed down.
 Squash growing on top of a pumpkin. I should try and move it.

 This might be a snake gourd and not a huge python gourd:) I'm assuming that they will get some color and curl to them as fall gets here.
 We are fall calving now. It's a little hot for it, but I think if they talked to the cows that calved this spring in the snow they would consider themselves lucky. I know the guys that check them don't complain!!
 They have plenty of grass to hide in. If those little calves aren't  careful they could find themselves right under the middle of a pickup!!! Not saying that happened and no calves where hurt if it did just sayin:)
 Just chillin


 These are last falls calves.
 One had a sore foot and needed to be treated the other night.

 So they all gathered round to see what would happen.
 #51 orange if you could see the small writing on the bottom of the tag you would know he was born on Aug 31st. All the calves get their birthdate written on their tags.
Trying to start a baby quilt but I'm always being called out of the basement..............JMF

Silage, Pumpkins, Family and Apron

A view from the top............of the silage pile! I rode the 4wheeler up kindof fun!!

 The cutters came late on Tues and finished Fri afternoon.

Here's the finished product.
 Another view from the top.
 Last one!
 Now to cover up the pile.
 Tarp then the old tires to hold it down and dirt on the bottom.

3 tarps later, and it's still not all covered. Greg will start feeding off that end, but not for a few months we hope. So there ends another silage cutting at the Feldhaus'
 The frost the other night curled the leaves in the punkin patch!! Plus I quit watering them.
Bright orange!!!!!!!!
We celebrated Greg's moms birthday Sun. I won't publish her age cuz she's kindof a bionic woman she has 2 new hips, 1 new knee and a repaired shoulder so she could kick my you know what if I tell!!!!!!!!!! Not really she should be proud she doesn't look or act her age!!and I mean that in a good way. anyway I'm the short one in the front with the purple and white T shirt.
Not much on the sewing front just this simple little girl's apron.
that's all folks........JMF
