Imagine our surprise when the Vet informed us that Spot was a heifer! We missed the sex on that one! So Spot is a little girl and her correct name is Dot. In theory, the heifers bring in more money, but we also have to keep them longer which of course costs us money.
Big Mama stepped up and had a little girl just before Christmas. Her name is Dawn. She's a real dynamo and her poor mama is scrambling to keep up with her. So now we have six with six more coming.
The winter storm that came in just before Christmas was short lived but we still lost our hot water. Peg called the plumber who told her to only run hot water through the faucets. After about 8 hours, we had hot water and thankfully all is well with our pipes.
The wild critters in the neighborhood are loving the weather: cold nights and mild days. There is a lot of digging, hooting and howling during the nights so the dogs are on alert and not interested in sleeping at bedtime. Oh well, we'll take the nature that's all around us!!!
