October 6th Surprise!

Well, I can’t wait till I’m caught up to post this! I couldn’t wait to share it with you, AFK! What a surprise we got this morning! Someone’s peeking out at me from behind the apple tree!

Ho da kewt!! Spots over its eyes! (We don’t know yet if it’s girl or boy.)

We didn’t think Bessie was due till next month! I think s/he was born last night about 5 pm. I’d taken a long distance shot of the cows, but until I zoomed in on the photo today, I didn’t see the brand new calf! See what I mean?

But now try look!

This is so exciting!! Jake and Sarah will put Bessie and baby inside the barn tonight since the coyotes have been singing the songs of their people very nearby lately.

Throwback post to 2007: Pumpernickel Valley

While I’m getting the next posts ready, I thought you folks would enjoy reading my most popular post of all time. I especially loved reading all the comments I got from Dave, who actually lived and worked there. And from Keith, whose mom travelled through the area by covered wagon. I hope you enjoy it!
