Sarah Visits the Farm

Monday Alice (my long time friend) brought her granddaughter to see the farm. Boy, did she enjoy it. Josh showed her around and explained, I am sure, many things around here. Sarah wanted to touch everything. This ole' ewe kept stomping her feet at us, because the mothers are very protective of their babies. We stayed clear and let them have their space.

It was a very cold and windy day, so we retreated for the big calf barn....where Sarah learned a lot about baby calves. At one point she yelled for grandma to come see the twins and triplets. Actually, I did not think we had twins and I knew we did not have triplets...because I surely would have been told about that event. David informed me that Sarah was right about the twins, but the triplets were just three big old calves being housed together.
Sarah was eager to learn, see, and touch everything, but this moment was a close encounter with baby calf poop....notice those hands going up like, "oh no". Josh is used to it, he does not even notice.

Sarah gets one more touch in before moving on to other things. There would be many more things to do around the farm...... Josh and Sarah made their way to the old trucks, tractors, and more. They pretended to be driving the big machines. Cats were seen, a big bull, many calves both in the barn and older ones outside. We only got a glimpse of our pony, Dixie. She was resting in the pasture and it was just too cold to go to her. All kids that come here seem to love climbing on the big hay bales. The stack is beginning to dwindle, so that fun will soon cease.

Sarah really did not want to leave...she was having too much fun! I promised that she could come back in the spring and she would be able to have much more fun in the pretty weather. After Alice and Sarah arrived home, Alice called laughing and said that Sarah asked, "how many hours until spring, Grandma?"

I can't seem to get the cursor to go down, but the last picture is chalk drawings done by the two. Josh is really getting detailed with the cars now. And, can you see the big round bales stacked up? It is just above car 95.

We love to see kids or adults enjoying the happenings on the farm. Sarah, you and your Grandma are welcome back anytime.
