Homes for Everyone

We are getting a new calf to raise for beef, but it needs a home too!  Greg made up the frame at his house and then we came over to help put the plywood on it.

Jean is raising the calfs on goats milk right now so we need to build the pen and get it over to her farm.

We have had some beautiful fall weather so that was really nice for our little project.

Almost done.

Unfortunately, the calf pen ended up being a little too big to fit in Greg's trailer so we need to get a flat bed to get it over to Jean's house!

Creepy Crawly Things

I am not very fond of bugs, especially spiders, but I have to admit that the spider I saw this morning when I took Enna to the bus was pretty cool. I think this would have to be the biggest web I have ever seen.  It was at least four feet off the ground and two feet wide.  Whenever I see spider's web out here on the farm I immediately think of Charlotte's Web.  I really wouldn't be too surprised to find some words in a web one day!

The web was suspended from one of our maple trees.

And yes, it really is as big as it looks here!

Bambie

 There is a baby deer that likes to hang out in our front pasture.  We have affectionately named it Bambie.  The kids love to watch for him to come near the house because it usually hangs out at the back near the grove of trees.

 Enna always tries to sneak up so she can "pet him." They kids are trying to make friends with him.  Paul even told me he tried to share his hamburger with Bambie.

Unfortunately though he always seems to run away!
