What a gorgeous day and what a beautiful Mother’s Day gift-a lovely walk on top of the ridge with my two delightful adult children.  On the way back, as we crossed the hay field, Ashley’s sharp eyes spotted a four-leaf clover.  Till the walk across the field was complete we had six four-leaf clovers and one five-leaf clover.

If you need some good luck, just come and take a stroll through the hay field.

The evening before Father’s Day one of Isaac’s cows had some trouble birthing.  He called Ken and I to help.  She must have been in labor awhile and the calf was breach.  They usually dive out front hooves and head first but this one was jumping out hind legs first.  The hips were stuck.  We pulled the calf out and found one tuckered out bull calf.  His Mom was tired and sore too.  They had a tough beginning and we have been extra cautious about their care but five days later he is still alive and well and drinking milk from his mother.
