calves and other stuff i miss


I just might get addicted to hanging out with my friend Miriam at her work. :) I took her pictures this afternoon and then went along to the farm where she works. Feeding calves again was so much fun! I'm still very much a farm girl at heart, I guess. I am entirely impressed with the farm set-up and calf facilities. The calves themselves are too cute to be true. Fine genetics and proper care and nutrition show.

This is the "I'm desperate to suck on something" look.


I happily obliged.


This, my friends, is a perfect dairy specimen. The sawdust on the nose is to be expected. She's just a baby, you must understand.


Whoever said "curiousity killed the cat" must have never known a cow.

 I got to bottle-feed these itty babies.


Is anything more satisfying than watching a whole row of calves eat? Um, they WERE eating.






A perfect Sunday.

Love seeing another side of you. Had to laugh at your comment about the cows being more curious than cows. Who is your friend Miriam? Ie, would I know her?

it's funny. even though it's been a while since i've lived on a farm, it's still such a part of me that i can hardly imagine that people don't really know me that way. :)

do you know sam & mattie, who are in kenya? mim is mattie's sister. i'm not sure if you'd know her or not.
