Lately we've been having some nice days. Warmed up enough to hatch some mosquitoes. Yeah, in March. Yesterday evening there were a couple swarms of bugs that looked a lot like mosquitoes. Not ready for that season. Hopefully we'll get a cold snap that'll knock 'em out. The flies have woken up also. That's always a good sign it's spring. And there's green grass poking up in the yard! And we got our first calf yesterday! Cute little black thing. Pretty sure it's a heifer. Haven't been able to get close to it 'cause the momma cow is a crazy one. We were gonna tag it last evening before meeting, but the cow was not gonna let us get close. She just about climbed into the back of the pickup with Rodney. Maybe she'll settle down in a couple days. Always need a crazy one in the herd!
We've also been enjoying our first spring cold. The girls have been sick for a week or so with runny noses and a nasty cough. They're about over it now. Thankfully. 'Cause sometimes a cough would bring about throwing up. And I don't like to clean that stuff up. It stinks. But the girls were real troopers through it all. Still saw their beautiful smiles and heard their happy giggles.
