Agnes was due to calve in 4 days. She was showing no signs of imminent calving Wednesday evening. Imagine our surprise to see a newly born calf as the sun was coming up Thanksgiving morning.
My Loving Spouse and I got dressed and went for a closer look at our herd. We were hoping for a heifer calve, but when I reached under the little one for a manual inspection, I could definitely feel a few little balls. (A move you can only get away with when they are still very little and stunned by the birthing process).
K21 will definitely not be named Kaden, Kayden or Kaiden. In our school there seems to be at least 2 of these in every classroom along with all the Aiden, Brayden, Caiden, Drayden, Hayden, Jaden, Layden, Wayden and Zaydens.
K21 will be Kirk.
Thanksgiving day was exactly 3 months since the day I broke my back. My regular ‘life’ is returning to me slowly. As I was able to carry small armloads of wood into the house, I was thinking how very much I have to be Thankful for.
Friday’s to do list:
Tag Kirk’s ear, give him his shot and band his balls. I can do the first two by myself, but the last one takes a few more willing participants.
Meet my BFF in town for shopping local dressed in plaid, because in Ellensburg it is Plaid Friday. Wear plaid and get a discount.
…and we are blessed.
That’s a pretty special Thanksgiving surprise! Sure glad to hear that you’re making progress!
Thanks Dear John, I do feel like I’ve turned the ‘corner’. Blessings to you and your family,
Wonderful news that makes me miss you even more. I treasure the time I spent with you this year. Being able to relate to the people, places and things you talk about brings me closer to you. Sending love overflowing! Lynn
Sweet sister of mine. You were and are a huge blessing to me.
