maryjane	Posted - Mar 13 2019 : 01:23:50 AM As I write this, the wind is howling and the snow continues to get deeper. Janet, I read there's a nasty storm with high winds headed your way. So much for "spring" calves. Unless next week warms up dramatically to melt some of our snow, I better come up with a plan for "winter" calves. My little vintage Shasta looked cold and lonely today.

txbikergirl	Posted - Mar 16 2019 : 08:50:16 AM good morning ladies! i hope you have a bit of a reprieve from all that snow. We got another "cold spell" here, it was 40 last night ;> i would welcome some cooler weather, though have to admit i wouldn't quite appreciate all that snow. cute pics of the girls mj, i love all the modern t-shirts as my girls are always wearing something positive like "girl power", or "anything is possible", "kindness matters" or a million other sweet/fun sayings. we have the middle child off for a day with granny and gramps today, and i'll be out the door with the other two shortly to see lover boy's great aunt freddie and help her with her computer. i taught her how to use a spreadsheet at 85 to do her checkbook and she is still going strong at 90! once a year i go over and roll last years s/sheet to this year, so the girls will go with me and play outside with her dog. lover boy is getting a delivery of construction materials today, they are starting on his shop this week. finally, it has been years in the making. he is ecstatic. he especially needs a man cave now with all the estrogen in the house. i have the vet coming to place CIDRs in all the cows tomorrow. semen from covington arrived yesterday so we are good to AI in another week. keep your fingers crossed or me ;> take care ladies, enjoy your weekend.

maryjane	Posted - Mar 13 2019 : 1:44:50 PM The woman who bought M'lady, Sophie, and Ester Lily sent me a photo of her new feeder this morning. Inspired by mine when she was here staying in my B&B last summer, she took hers one step further. I love it, built right into the side of her barn. She said the opening could have been slightly taller because it's rubbing the hair off their backs. Anyway, an ad for these blueprints could say, "Feed from the comfort of your barn."
maryjane	Posted - Mar 13 2019 : 07:46:54 AM While sitting with my tea this morning, a little Christmas jingle grabbed me: Jolly old ridiculous, let me grab your ear Spring had better be, getting pretty near I am out of patience, let me tell you why Snow, cold, ice and calves due soon, top my list of sighs (FYI: Didn't get an entire night's sleep). Second cup of tea? Definitely. Maybe a third.
