welcome home


Last weekend we went to the Mule sale and show and I was interested in the cast iron cooking demonstration.  They made biscuits and stuffed chicken breast, enchilada casserole and a great bread pudding.

Then on Monday evening I went to our Mother Hens house and housesat for week while she went to the coast.  She took her dog so it was so quiet at her place and I enjoyed it very much.  I worked on a quilt and finished to top while I was there and took care of her 6 chickens.  It was great to get away and relax but it's always good to come home.  This was how the calves showed me just how much they missed me as I was trying to unload the truck when I got back.

 Gidget was so happy to see me , she wouldn't leave my side for 2 days.  It is nice having her little body on the end of the bed at night. What would we all do without our pets?

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
