Fall 2009 and The Twins

The Twins.

Shooting Star - with a little star on her forehead
and I saw a shooting star the night they were born.
But mostly - they just get called "Hey, Kids."

Freddie Jr - the twins are out of the late
Freddie and Katie Sue - and are 3/4 Guernsey.

An afternoon on the front road pasture,
with Sweetie checking things out. They
stay up at the barn, but when I'm home they get to
roam the yard and this front pasture -
until I put the pigs back here.

Lacey at 2 years, 3 months and pregnant just about 3 months.

At the Grove pasture - most of the herd relaxing -
October 2nd.

Farm Addition

On Tues, June 9, 2009 Born Sunday 7pm - I was fortunate enough to come home from work to see Phoebe's water had broke. So I hung around and was again fortunate enough to see that things weren't happening after the feet were out about 4 inches - so I checked and found the baby's nose and tongue all hung out - very scary - so I pulled hard as I could and that managed to be enough to free the baby. I believe she was very close to suffocating, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to assist and to have a healthy little girl - One Spot. Pictures taken at 24 hours - yesterday evening.

Fall on the Farm aka Thanksgiving Future

On Thu, 11/6/08, Did I tell you I'm published? An author e-mailed regarding our {former} Romanov sheep. Since they are fairly rare in the US, she was having trouble getting pictures. So I sent her pictures, and now we're in her new farm book, Breeds of Livestock, published by Storey Books {farm books}. The pictures aren't ART quality - but show the breed well, so that's what they wanted. AND I got paid {a little } - so that counts!
