On Our Journey Westward


Apr. 7, 2008

Nature, Up Close and Personal

Posted in Family

I'm Baaaack!  We finally bought a new camera yesterday!  :)  I just haven't been the same blogger since the old camera died.  LOL  Here's the perfect moment caught on film, er, digital something or other.....

 

Tonight was SO beautiful, we decided to take a short walk to the barn to visit with a couple of our new additions. 

 

 

Well, this weekend (and for many days this past month) we had A LOT of rain.  Needless to say, cows + tractors + a lot of rain = A LOT of mud.  Stinky, cow manure, mucky mud.  Deep, wet mud. 

 

Little one apparently doesn't understand the seriousness of staying away from this sort of mud.  Well, maybe he does now.  I tried.  As I ran, I yelled (in slow motion, of course), "Nooooooo!!!!"  It was dreadfully too late.

 

 

Let's just say he freaked, clothes were ruined, everyone of us had to bathe, the tubs now need to be cleaned and this isn't the first time my mud room has smelled of manure.

Oh, how traumatic for him and for YOU! I'm one of those strange ones who finds the smell of pasture pleasant. Of course, I don't want to fall into manure. That's taking it way too far!

I don't blame him, I would have freaked out too. The picture is priceless though.

Just wanted to comment on your picture of your little one in the mud. How funny that it freaks him out now but later it will probably attract him like a magnet. Or that's the way it is with my son anyway. Loved your pictures of the calves, we raise bucket calves in the spring and show them at the fair in the fall for 4H and completely understand the 'smell'. Enjoy your little ones! Blessings, Julie

What a true joy to have such a wonderful loan from GOD; children, to share such enjoyments with! Oh the laughs, what a memory seed to save!
You "are" getting into the farm life! I was unaware! Great for you and the family! You are becoming more and more like the Proverbs woman!
Luv you

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I'm a homeschooling mom to three of the sweetest children - 11, 8 and 1. We use a very eclectic style - mostly Charlotte Mason mixed with classical. We love unit studies, lapbooking and notebooking. And books, books, books! Personally, I love to encourage and inspire homeschoolers new and old.
