Great landscaping rocks, Kathleen. Were they gifts from a glacier or bulldozer? I enjoy watching the sunlight playing it's games on the hills and mountains around us. One show in the morning, a different one in the evening.
Yesterday I helped my neighbors give cows shots, and brand the last of the calves. All but one of the cow calf pairs are grazing at our place. That one exception is one that had a very difficult delivery. Cow is still not moving around as well as she should, and her calf is a bit gimpy too. They want to keep her close when the others go to pastures a couple of miles down the road, and later 6 miles in the other direction, so I offered our little orchard pasture which is sub irrigated, has water and shade, and would feed that pair for 2 or 3 months. All it needs is an electric fence on one side. Meanwhile she and her calf are in the corral until the stock trailer is available again. Right now it has a freezer in it.
Last week I also helped by market gardening neighbor with greenhouse work. Interesting stuff. I'll post the link where I put info and pictures. If you want to go hunting for it, go to Cubits.org find Blue Gardens Cubit, and the thread is Down on the Farm. I'm about to start thread #2 of that. It's about a lot of things that I do, so there is also a road trip in it. I had my lambing thread there and when I finished with lambing duties I started this more general one. There seems to be quite a bit of interest from people who have no clue about farm stuff.
