I got this picture recently of our cow,
 Cloud, with her new baby, born a few weeks
 ago. I named her Julie because she was born
 in July.

~~a sad-and expensive end to 2012 for us...last night-just after dark- we got a call that one of our young 'heifers' had gotten out of our back pa sture and got hit by a car and killed! A young girl was driving alone, but, thankfully, was not hurt. Charles went over there-(one street over)-At best we will be out the cost of the young cow...which would have been worth around $700.00 presently) Hopefully, the girl's insurance will cover her damages to her car! (I sure hope so because we can't afford another big bill to pay)

It was a freak thing to happen...sometimes young cows manage to get out, in spite of our best efforts to keep the fences in good shape!...The animal control people were there and Charles was not held responsible for this.

Apart from the $$ part, I am very sad about the loss of this beautiful little cow. She was one of the prettiest ones we've had.

This is a picture of "April" when she was just a day or so old, with her mom, Cloud.

The link to my blog shows a more recent pic of her.

A barbed wire fence is not much for show but it does it's job of keeping the animals in!

We have a new baby at our place this week - and she is a beauty!

I named her "April!"

These pictures were  all  taken when she was just about 1 hour old!

She's so pretty!

Mom is very protective of her newborn.

  After awhile, mom, "Cloud,"  relaxes and partakes of a well deserved snack of hay.

Friday's Fences~Mar 2, 2012

This rustic board fence separates our yard on the west side from a wooded lot, and the neighbors, beyond that. I like the privacy it gives us for our patio area.

 This area of the fence is at the front part of the yard.

 Further back on the fence, my husband likes to display old farm collectibles! OK...Just junk to most, but we find this stuff interesting to have around.

This barbedwire fence separates our pasture from our neighbor's property.

This week I was riding with my husband in our pasture,  feeding hay to the cows and checking on them.

I couldn't resist getting a  picture of this pretty country scene,  just outside our pasture, of the fence post and the wild plum tree in full bloom!

 This is a pretty country scene from a past summer at our place.

The delicate Crepe Myrtle flowers blooming next to the rustic fence, make an interesting and appealing contrast.

I love it!

A few days ago we visited our pasture where we have a few cows.  They like the shade in this hot weather!

You often see this in a cow pasture...

Hey! It's all part of the plan!

We have a small herd of cattle on our little farm.

Recently 2 of our cows had babies.

This first photo is the one  born about 2 weeks ago. They,  almost immediately, mingle with the rest of the herd. This one is already  very comfortable with all the big cows around her.

This is Mary Beth with her new baby May!

This is Cloud, just a few days before she had her baby!

 This is her baby girl, Cleo! 

She is 3 days old but I just saw her for the first time yesterday!

The mom , apparently, didn't like so much attention being paid to her new baby and quickly came over and whisked her away to join the other cows!

I'm happy these 2 new babies are girls because that means they will most likely remain as part of our herd - not be sold at a few months!

We live in the country and have a rustic  solid board fence along one side of our property. It's the perfect place for my husband to put some of the old farm things of the past that he likes to collect. I like them too-which makes it good!

  :)

Time and weather exposure only serve to make them more appealing- IMO!

On the farm_late May, 2010

These are a few scenes of our farm life this week. As I mentioned before, Charles and Joy (our daughter-in-law) have a great little garden going!

I had not seen, until yesterday, these extraordinary beans she has planted. They are a type of beans grown in her homeland-The Philippines! Charles measured this biggest one and it's 30 inches long! Yikes! One bean to the pot, I guess! :)







Anyway, Joy only has a few of these plants so she plans to save most of the pods for seeds!

~~~

Joy's sunflowers are all blooming out now and I had to go down and get a close-up view of them! Nothing says 'country' better than these huge, sunny, cheerful blooms! Looking at one of these flowers is sure to lift one's spirits!

OK-You know me and pictures...I HAD to get a pic posed by these blooms-even tho it wasn't a good time for me...but -who cares...the flower is the star!!

~~~

Last night I made this squash casserole again and this time I got a pic before I served it! Although I had used cubed stuffing mix this time -instead of the crumbled type) it still turned out very yummy! At the moment this is my favorite dish! :)

Lol- good thing, too, as we have a LOT of squash in that garden!

( click here for recipe )

~~~

After dinner Joy and I went for a golf cart ride around our neighborhood. She's so appreciative and enthusiastic about things -life in general- it's a pleasure to spend time with her!

This is a picture I got of her earlier this week with some Mimosa blooms in my yard! I think, maybe, they remind her of her original home!

~

This little guy followed us home from a neighbor's place nearby. He was a cutie but shy and wouldn't look at my camera. I was happy when his owner came to get him as I was worried he'd get in the street!



Dachshunds are cool little dogs and if I ever decide to have another dog I think this would be my choice.

We had one when my son was a kid. It was Christopher's dog. His name was Reggie!

Now I've gone and made myself all sad - remembering our Reggie!

~

Guess I should go look at the sunflowers again! :)

Have a great early spring/summer day!


Love,
Junie
