It was in the 70’s yesterday before a cold snap came in overnight. It’ll be in the low thirties tonight. Chilly out there now. The young bulls in the close pasture are feeling frisky.
The two kids found a dog igloo in the “maternity ward” and have been making use of it in the wind and cold. Jim’s dad brought in a second igloo and Jim put hay in both to keep them warm tonight. They’re nearly 48 hours old and moving around well, still unsteady.
We’re expecting more babies tonight. More fun than watching TV! We have outdoor furniture set up for the peanut gallery for later.
Yesterday we took a tour of the new property about an hour away, a large spread where Jim’s parents are going to build a ranch and home to move to in the next 5-10 years. It is truly a different life than I’m used to.
Zoe’s having a ball, asking to go out every 20 minutes because there’s a squirrel or something else to see. She hangs out in the living room or back bedroom looking out the windows and barking at every car that drives by. She’ll be bored in our loft starting around noon tomorrow! Yep, we’ll leave first thing to get back home.
It’s been a good weekend, spending quality time with the folks. Talk to you from the big city, Dee
