I hate New Years resolutions because when I fail to achieve them, I feel really crummy about myself. I have one this year. My goal is to figure out how to get my pictures off my camera and back on to this blog! It is a mighty task! The reason I have decided to follow through is we received a four volume print version set of the blog since its beginning, 2010 thru 2023, for Christmas. What makes the books so interesting is not the poor grammar of my narratives, but the abundance of pictures. So....
Our holidays can be characterized by lots of food and goodies punctuated by lots of family, grandkids, dogs, and babysitting. The cows tolerated the barking doodles and the many trips in the buggy, The Beast, and Polaris. Normally the cows are fed when we are driving around in one of the vehicles. So having all the motor activity without feedings was very disappointing. We have a couple cows that do not hold back their vocal disapproval.
We are still picking up tree limbs from last years ice storm. We had some help from Ben and Bekah which was much appreciated!!! Now we need to do some burning!
It's been about six weeks without a calf birth which indicates the end of Valentino's reign and the beginning of Lance-O-Lot's reign. Lance still is young and acts like a teenager most of the time. However, I have seen him step up and assume his role as "bull-in-charge." I'm hopeful that we'll see babies in the next month or so.
