Well, I will just make the day fun. I am going to need energy for the day so I am stopping atContinue reading “Day in the Life # 3 The Shopping Trip”

The Greenhouse
The other day I bought some discounted plants from the Lowe’s Hardware store. I bought them the day before we had a winter storm. I also bought seed to put in seed starter kits. The next day Texas received a winter storm. It dropped to the low 20s. I built a green house last summer Continue reading “The Greenhouse”
Getting Ready for the Winter Storm
My cows love the sunshine and warm days. When Texas decides to have a winter storm we have to prepare. I probably won’t go to work tomorrow and I also don’t want to be in the cold getting shelter ready for the cows. I’ve been sick so I dressed warm. Then I put some squareContinue reading “Getting Ready for the Winter Storm”

I am Sad
It was a sad day at the farm today. The little brown calf did not survive the night. His feeding last night was terrible. His gums were pale and his mouth was cold. I tried a last attempt to feed him. I looked out the window throughout the night and noticed he had not moved.Continue reading “I am Sad”
Update on the Calf
The calf has not been taking the noon feeding. I think it has been because it is too full. I have cut back to feeding a full bottle twice a day. I also bought some scours tablets from Tractor Supply and I am putting one in each bottle. The calf is looking stronger and isContinue reading “Update on the Calf”
Preparing The Nursery
As you see from the picture I was getting an early start on the day. I had to get this pen ready for my doodler (bottle calf). This pen has been used for all sorts of animals. My mother kept chickens in it. My daughter kept bunnies in it. Now I am getting ready toContinue reading “Preparing The Nursery”
