Life on the Farm with the Milkmaid

• May. 18, 2008 - What do you do on a Friday night?

I remember the days of going to the movies or to the skating rink or even just crusin' through The Sonic (come on, I bet you went crusin' too!).  But, alas, those days are gone!  It's no fun crusin' when gas is almost $4 per gallon!  And well, you can't really take 4 chickies to the movies all the time... actually, you can (at least we have) but it gets kind of expensive.  Anyway, this is where we go on a Friday night:

At least that's where we went this Friday night...up to Pawpaw's farm.  We just went crusin' on our 4 wheeler...yes, all 6 of us!!  Anyway, these are Mr. Rooster's cattle...he's leasing Pawpaw's farm right now.  He's really Mr. Brewster, but one of the chickies misunderstood!!  He has some really pretty ones!!

This pair gets the "Most Beautiful" prize.  She's a real beauty and her little bull calf was quite handsome as well!!

Beautiful Mama actually got a little curious!

This little cutie seemed to think his left side was his best side! 

I love the color on this mama!  She seems a bit serious though, don't you think?! 

Her sister seemed to have a more curious nature! 

See the cow on the left side?  She's actually going pee (sorry, we didn't capture that moment on purpose)  But she must have been holding it for a while!  I think she was saying, "OH, that feels good!!!!"

Every now and then you come across some interesting things...unexplainable things...

Is it me or does this tree look like it has a big butt??!!    Here's a closer look:

Some things just don't require words!

As the evening began to wind down...

And the moon began to rise...

We spied this darling girl!  Oh I know!  It's blurry...so sorry!  Head Farmer took this off the 4 wheeler and I was holding Chickie #4.  (what do you expect from amatuers?!  )   I'm just kidding!  HF really did take the photo...not sure what happened.  It must have been all the excitement of running up on the doe and trying to hurry and take the picture before she bolted!  Anyway, she wasn't blurry to us!! 

By then the air had quite a chill in it and someone had to go potty, so we headed back to the truck to load up and go to Taco Bell!    Then we did some crusin' with our trailer and 4 wheeler behind us and 4 sleeping chickies in the back seat.  We got home around 10 pm and everyone got cleaned up and put to bed! 

Yesterday was a fun day too.  We went to the city and ran into some friends, went shopping and got some fun things for Head Farmer (for his birthday which is on May 25th) and got home in time to see that one of our cows had calved.  Yes, Millie...my most beloved cow...had a little bull calf yesterday that was, unfortunately, still born.  Now we must go and take care of her and begin another fun day.  So ya'll go and have a great day with your families!  Enjoy life, enjoy each other, and spread the love!!
