Yikes.....time is flying!

And in two weeks, we will be headed for Dairy Days at MSU. I can't believe how summer is getting away from us.

The kids have been leading their heifers, but it would seem we have a stubborn bunch. Suzanna's younger heifer was better until she hurt her foot and we had to mess with her each day. Kathryn's heifer lead real well until she was dehorned and decided humans are something to be avoided at all costs. Thomas's heifer is the best of the three, until she decides to plant her front feet and stop walking. Could get interesting!

Kathryn's lamb, Lydia, is tame. She sees Kathryn and starts baaing at her. She loves to be scratched. She sleeps in the rabbit shack and one of the rabbits has figured out how to open his cage and gets out and hops around following Lydia. It is funny to watch.

Summer weather is here for the week, lots of sun and warm temperatures. Hope the garden gets going. It has been a rough spring for growing stuff.
