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.






























Happy Birthday Auntie!

 Another visit to the farm for another birthday celebration, this time for Auntie Pookie! It was a pretty nice day as far as things go around here at the end of winter. The snow glare was so bright it was actually hard to be outside. Iris refused to sleep until Tara bounced her to sleep, even then it only lasted about 20 minutes. She is a kid that may make me become a hermit. Not that it would make much of a difference, she barely sleeps at home either! Her latest move is what I call a sabo-splodge, and Rich calls a crapo-tage. Basically she poops and wakes her self up, sabotaging the nap. It happens daily, sometimes more than once. She is lucky she is ridiculously adorable.
