After all the rain the fields are heaving with frogs and toads.
It was Ellie’s last day and before she left she stalked animals and amphibians with her camera.
Boo was being helpful.
This is the look Lady gives me after milking – she walks out of the milking room and turns then waits at the door, for me to bring her the Baby Bobby.
He has finally woken up and is a wild and naughty wee fella. He races about running rings around us all.
I brought Alex and Aunty Anna out to meet the calf. Aunty Anna was deeply jealous and kept bumping the calf off the udder – she has always been Lady’s handmaiden. So she has gone back with the herd. Alex can stay with Lady. Alex is a lead cow and Lady is a follower so I need someone to live with Lady or she will not come in when called. She needs another cow to follow. Alex always comes when called.
Also Alex spent all afternoon snoozing within arms reach of the baby while Lady went off to graze. Alex is a perfect Aunty cow.
Not that wild Aunty Anna though. She is a loud and high spirited cow who does not like to share.
I hope you have a lovely day.

Oh I love frogs! We know spring has truly arrived when the peepers’ chorus can be heard echoing across the pastures from our small neighborhood pond. It’s been a bit too chilly here yet to hear spring.
Seems to me Boo and Ton will miss one young and pretty lady when it is her time to leave . . . tho’ I wonder whether anyone ever really ‘leaves’ the farmy once they have been . . . So happy to see a vigorous, energetic and handsome young bobby being spoilt by more than one: naturally one again so feels n giving him a name and letting him stay and not have to earn the farmy’s keep . . .
We have the same, frogs all around after heavy rain, which in turn brings out the storks who are enjoying the extra protein 🙂
