Poor Old Queenie is so big and so round and so short the only way she can get comfortable is to lie like that. It terrifies me.
I’m fine, she says. I’m fine. Don’t get your knickers in a twist. (Expectant mothers hate fussing.)
I feel as though I have had my pause button pushed then disabled while I wait for Daisy’s calf to arrive. I am afraid Queenie’s won’t be that far behind.
While I wait I have been cleaning. It is hell. I am a sulky house cleaner at best. My barn is better organised than my house. 
The sun was out yesterday and almost all the snow is gone, gone, gone. So I opened the Chook House door and out they flew. Thrilled to be back out in the Great Outdoors.
Well lets see what happens today then!
Have a lovely day.

Queenie looks bigger than Daisy! Or is it because she is smaller and therefore her ‘lump’ just looks bigger? Or maybe twins?? As I lay in bed last night ready to drift off into the land of nod I was thinking of Daisy, and then the song got in my brain and wouldn’t let go – “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I’m alf crazy all for the love of you…….” Though i can’t quite see her on a bicycle made for two LOL.
Hug, Lyn
Where is that darn baby!?! The suspense is killing me.
The waiting seems like it’s forever!!! It just must be going to happen soon! So good to see Ton Ton by Daisy’s side, as usual. Is he healing and good as new again? xo
Yes it took a while but the lump went down and no sign of it now.. he is all shiny and fluffly again too which is nice.. c
I was just going to ask you this, but now I don’t have too! GOOD! I’m glad he didn’t have to have surgery!

Oh my, the picture in your header kills me! Poor thing! Just start pushing Queenie!
Maybe she needs to eat some Mexican food to get things moving…
Since Sunday didn’t pan out I’m now voting for this coming Friday….during the cocktail hour (just to give us all some added buzz) 🙂
Warming up today…my lilies have popped thru the cold earth….Yay, Spring!
In spite of the title over top of the photo, when I saw Queenie, my heart just dropped! I can imagine how terrified you must have felt! I wish they would both just get on with the happy business of new babies!
I remember those days! The lying like the dead and waiting for the little one to make its appearance. Soon. I know horses can time the arrival of their foals. Maybe they’re waiting for better weather.
It looks like they are both enjoying the sun – I hope you et a lot more of it 😉
Good morning Celi! So nice to see your snow gone. Those calves may be a week apart and will be good buddies, cavorting about. They will be so much fun to watch. I check back several times a day to see if there is any news.
We had a beautiful day here, just above freezing. My husband and I cleaned out a chicken coop and the goat pen yesterday. The animals have had to be inside most all of the winter because of the horrible weather, so things were pretty deep. I am getting ready to have a class of kids out from our local high school to see the animals. I feel very lucky to have what we do have and so love to share it with others. Our snow drifts in our yard are still shoulder high so we have a way to go till our snow is gone. My thoughts are with you and Daisy today.
Housecleaning = nesting instinct. That’s my observation.
If it works for humans (and it does) why not cows?
brilliant, except i am the one doing the cleaning! that cow and I have some odd kind of connection.. c
Queenie made me laugh. When mine lay out like that, I usually clap my hands or something to make them look up. It is unnatural looking!
Well, you did ask Daisy to wait for the warmer weather so I guess she is just being an obedient cow. 😉
Have a lovely day C.

oh those poor girls. i hated the last days of pregnancy. i am so glad you are starting to see some spring!
We’re all holding our collective breath. There will be a great bit Ooof of exhalation when it’s all over. No snow, but it’s gone back to being cold here too (4 layers of clothes today)
Keep your chin up,
Love,

I love seeing the hay in the trunk (or is that under the hood) of the car in your barnyard! Keeping my fingers crossed for a calf today!
It is in the boot. Yes, you would call it the trunk. The cows like it too, the other day Daisy had her front foot in there as she tweaked out the one little morsel that was tastier than all the rest, it was NOT a pretty sight! c
