Life on a farm in rural southwest Washington.

Wet

Calves seem to be born in the wet and coldest weather. I say that cold rain is like Pitocin for cows. We have had an unusually dry winter but we are tired of the rain after two days.

Cows in the Snow

Our few inches of snow are mostly gone today. Yesterday, Ed and Grace took a walk to our house and took some pictures on the way.

After calmly posing for the above picture, this momma had a new calf last night.

Speaking of firsts, this long-legged, newly minted teenager is my oldest granddaughter, Lindsay. Happy Birthday Lindsay.

Hank found the first calf of the year yesterday.  He was snuggled up in the barn but it looks like he went on a little "field trip."

 

Snow Day!

The temperature is in the teens and we have a light cover of snow. The prediction is for more snow today, but right now the sun is shining. Perfect quilting weather! I am making progress with picture posting. The pattern is called Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. Today I'm working on another version of the same quilt in white and pale green. Another project is shown below, leftover flannel from baby quilts make great "burp cloths". My young friend Courtney Barber made this one with raggedy edges. Isn't it sweet?
