Moving cows.

 We moved the cows to the calving pasture the other day.
 We still have 2 reddish cows what are the chances of getting them in the same picture:)
 I'm going to watch the neighbors driveway.
 We have a few geese around here.........

 The hairy fall calves. They needed a good coat of hair this winter.
 Mom shes taking my picture don't embarrass me now!!! Kids...........

 Here they come.

 There's that red one again.
 They made it to the pasture.

 I quilted this the other day and got the binding and the label on it. I'm back to finishing some old projects.
 The next day this is was our weather. Huge snowflakes.

Here we go again..........I hope spring gets here soon...................JMF

 We got some snow again last night, but the good news it's going to really warm up by the end of the week!!
 This little guy was out my kitchen window this morning.

Are you looking at me????
 The grandkid's farm. A little bit of every animal.


 chicken coop.
 babies under cover. I leave it up for awhile it just makes me smile when I go down to sew:)
 I bought these quilt labels and thought maybe I could use them to make a mug rug....
 Just because it snowed doesn't mean it's Christmas go home Santa:)
This is the one I finished. I cut the words out of another piece of fabric, added alittle lace and ric rac which I'm not sure I liked........................JMF

Carrie's Birthday.

 Carrie and the kids came over yesterday to celebrate her birthday!! She probably wouldn't care if I shared her age, but I do!! I got the box 1/2 price at Hobby Lobby. Wishing I would have gotten more.
 It is so pretty and not need to wrap just fill it with gifts:)
 Here is one of the 2 table runners I made her. Of the hundreds of pictures I take there is not a one of the other one I made. Maybe because I finished the night before she came.

 I used the leftovers to make a mini one.
 These were started as a calendar wall hanging in 1996!!! Now they have life!!!

 I only have 6 months of them done. Ran out of supplies so now I will be forced to go back to Hobby Lobby.LOL
They look nice in her big frame. I tried to get the kids to sing happy birthday to her I have to say it was pretty lame:) I even tried to encourage them like " Now really bring it home at the end!!!"  Maybe they are just really shy well behaved kids...........or.................
            not............................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.

 This morning the geese were talking all at once. I do love that sound!
 Looks like the 1st day of spring happy happy happy ................

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.
