Springtime push

Living on a ranch/farm, spring is the busiest time.

I've been spending almost all my time helping do things like feeding, hauling hay, fixing fence, etc.

Last Thursday, I was one of two drivers to bring some cow calf pairs home to pasture.

Yesterday my afternoon was hauling hay.

We have babies and their mothers to keep an eye on now.

They are so adorable... Especially when they start romping around with their tails in the air.

About 20 more left to come over at some point. 

There is still snow in the coulees and ravines, but the grass is greening up.  It's not growing enough to take care of the the mamas nutritional needs, so we feed hay, some grain and today introduced beet pulp.  Cows eat alot when they are feeding babies!

I had a small show last Saturday and did OK,  one large and two small transactions made the day successful.

I've been weaving sporadically.  While experimenting, I stumbled onto a patriotic theme and they turned out so cute, I'm going to do multiples of these.

Two large shows in June puts me right before the 4th of July so I think these will be a hit!



I actually sold both of these on Saturday....

All for now,
JULIE

Oh, those red/white/blue rugs are smashing! No wonder they were snatched up!
