Happy 4th Birthday, Elsie!

     August 15 was Elsie's 4th birthday... she had been counting down the days for a long time! When it was finally here, she could hardly believe it! When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said, "A sandbox!" So, as it cools off, that is in the plans. :) 
    At our house, we get to pick what we want for our birthday supper. Elsie picked hot dogs and a pink cake. Everything had to be pink... the cake and the icing! And she made sure she was wearing her pink dress, too!
   Here are some pictures from the evening....












These are her ladybug salt and pepper shakers that LeAnn gave her... She loves ladybugs!

Cows....

Hi! It's been a long time since I have blogged... I have thought about it many times, but unfortunately thinking doesn't get it done!

I don't have much news, except that it is HOT!! This afternoon at 5pm it was 110 degrees... in the shade, I might add! :)

 The following are just a few snapshots of bringing cows to the barn or taking them back out to pasture.





This last one is Daffodil, our first heifer calf that was born on our farm! She is supposed to have her first calf in January 2012.
