Easter Afternoon with the cows...................

 We went over to the calving pasture to check for new babies. This is how rancher spend their holidays! We take turns being gone during calving season.

 We had 2 pairs that needed help they lost each other and needed reuniting!

 The calf gets a ride in the sled and mom follows............most of the time.

 One back together. I hope she told him/her never to leave her side again!!!

 Iconic sign of spring around here.

 Still munching on breakfast...........

 Here comes the second pair. She was a little on the dumb side! We brought her to her calf and she acted blind and deaf so to the corral we go.

 Here she comes......

 closer.............

 this went on for awhile finally she noticed the BIG opening and her calf.

 Caught her in the headgate and alittle help from Greg and that little calf was happy!!

 Me wasting time:)

 yummmmmmmmm good milk....

Everyone ended up together a few calves got tagged and we went back home for some Easter candy:)  Thanking God a beautiful day............................JMF

This and That and a goodwill jacket.................

 Spot the longhorn's calf, he is so cute. I will have to ask the boys if they named him.

 Clouds and sunset the other night. Coming home from the calving pasture.

 My $3.75 jacket from goodwill. I cut the cuffs and the band around the bottom off.

 A bucket and lots of bleach.......

 Then I washed it to fray the edges of the sleeves and the bottom.

 I wanted it to be whiter so will have to bleach it another time....maybe

 We went to Britton on Sunday for piano recitals. All the grandkids did a  good job.  Grandma Bev too. She and Ellie played a duet!

They still have a bit of ice up there. Some water then ice and some of the water was this pretty green color I suppose because of the ice.

 Yes we were.

In June we hope to get back to the Fort Sisseton Days.

 I was going to town this morning when I spotted a couple of the yearling buffalo down by the water.

 These 2 geese were walking right towards them so I waited til I could get both in a picture.

 I think they are familiar with each other. Neither one cared about the other.

The end...JMF.............................

One day later................

 We had a mini blizzard! They didn't let school out until 2:00 but by then the weather was better.

 I braved the storm to get the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!

 The next day it was all sunshine and mud.

 I had a visitor sometime little tracks???? I'm sure it was the cat.

 sunset

 This morning the geese were talking all at once. I do love that sound!

 Looks like the 1st day of spring happy happy happy ................

 I did alittle sewing the other day will share that when it's finished...JMF

What I saw today............

 When I looked out the kitchen window this squirrel was on the propane tank looking in that hole on the lid. Of course by the time I got my camera he was on his way down.

 That didn't stop me from taking some pictures tho.

 Chin ups!!

 Reward in the corn pail. I always reward myself after chin ups!! At least I would if I did them:)

 Here's the sparkling water from the other day..To cold to sparkle, a coating of ice.

 BBBrrrrrrrrr one leg up to keep warm.

 They were coming and going while I watched.

 I hope the calves enjoyed the warmer weather today sounds like snow and wind for tomorrow.

The shelters will be full. The D on his tag stands for Dobler that's who we bought the heifers from, mom's number 57 and this little guys birth date is 3-8.
