catching flies

 This little one wants to catch flies. She seems to go through little periods of time where it is obviously most comfortable to let her jaw drop and adopt a somewhat gormless look.

She caught a nasty bug from Flora this week and had a terrible cough and snotty nose. Poor thing has had it pretty rough! Today, thankfully, she seems to be nearly finished with it.

She is a cuddly thing and gives nice hugs which make me forgive her for the lack of sleep she has caused! 

 Flora doesn't like getting her picture taken at the moment so spends time running around asking me if I caught her. It is tricky!

 

last day of winter

 It was a beautiful last day of this long and cold winter. Too bad the first day of spring brought us right back to those miserable temperatures, with icy roads and more snow. Lucky we enjoyed this outdoors while we could! Flora and Gunner broke up the ice in the puddles, met a nice new calf in the barn and watched Grampa do some tractor work in the calving pens. We also had a nice walk in Sundre with Annalise, Emme and Sadie. I made Flora walk most of the way because her laziness is off the charts.
