365 Days 2023, Numbah Eighty-Three

Nolemana and I did several Autumn Holoholo Advenchas, but if I post them all now, I’ll never get caught up with the daily photos. So I think I’ll save those adventures for the darkness of winter, because we won’t be doing much holoholo’ing then. We’ve got ukubillion photos, so it’s gonna take awhile to get everything uploaded anyway. We had some great adventures, so stay tuned!

October 21st

Da daily pīpī. Bessie and Lani Moo.

Autumn Advencha Numbah Two, Chapter Two

After leaving the covered bridge, we decided to head back home; of course, when we saw these pīpī, I had to have Nolemana take a photo of them for AFK. I did moo at them for her, too. Red Angus for a change.

Autumn Advencha Numbah One. Chapter One.

October 15th

Today’s post is a little different; Nolemana and I went on a field trip to Silverton to see a covered bridge we’d never seen before. I wanted to go on some autumn holoholo before winter came.

This is the Molalla River as we crossed it in Estacada.

October 9th

Daily hummingbird. Flowers still blooming but the tomatoes are pau. And the Rufous Hummingbirds have left for southern climes, so the feeder isn’t nearly as busy now. Only the Annas are here now.

365 Days 2023, Numbah Seventy-Seven

October 6th

Nothing like being behind. Will I ever catch up before December 31st?

Daily pīpī…but where’s the new baby? This is Lani Moo and Hōkū,
Oh, there he is!!! Such a cute little face!
Our family of four. Look how little the baby is!
He’s sticking really close to Mom today.
I kept going out to the lānai to take photos.

I got this video of him.

Daily hummingbird.

My Kahili Ginger is getting ready to bloom!!

Except for early yesterday morning, we hadn’t seen the new calf for two days and were getting a little worried. So I called Jake and he and Sarah came over. Bessie came down from the hill, and we suspected that she’d stashed the calf up in the forest, since that was where I’d last seen her. So Jake and Sarah drove their SUV up in that direction.

The cows were disappointed that there were no treats for them yet.

Sarah stayed with the pickup up in the forest for a bit and Jake walked across the pasture to the brush and then Sarah drove the pickup back down again. Jake has a construction company and works hard in all kinds of dirty machinery during the days; we were grateful that he’d come over from work, tired and in work clothes, to look for the calf in places where we couldn’t get to. Bessie had gone back up into the brush directly up from the gate, and we all saw her go into the brush; at that point, we knew that was where she’d stashed her baby.

So Jake came back down and got a bunch of treats and put them in the cows’ separate treat feeders. Then he called for Bessie and shook the feeders, and guess what! Down she came with the calf!

He tried to feed Bessie and the calf separately in the corral, but it didn’t work. The calf’s only 2 days old, but look at him run!

Ho da kewt!!!
