We’ve been having unusually nice, warm weather the last while. I love it! Cold weather and I don’t mix well. The other morning we had a beautiful sunrise. One of the few perks of having to get up at such unearthly hours my whole life.      Every milking time always brings lots of drama. If it’s not the kids, the main dude, cats or dogs, it’ll be the cows.       This is what I call office gossip at the water fountain. I’m pretty sure they’re discussing who’s turn it is to be naughty this evening when they come in to milk. I could hear them chuckling to themselves.      Here’s proof that I actually help with all the chores and get dirty. To be  truly honest with you, I’m not always smiling. Just for the camera.      And Candace the “photobomber”.       Sitting down on the job???            Marshall slips out of the barn every chance he gets. The kid needs more cats.       Feeding the calves is supposed to be the kids’ job except on week day mornings. then Earl and I have all the honors.     Here’s the main man. Looks like he’s having the time of his life. I think he was asking himself “what would I do with a million bucks?”     So , beings that we don’t have a million bucks, he’s happy with a Dr. Pepper. That always brings a sigh of satisfaction.      Along with some good, hot food. Saturday night is always homemade pizza night. With a beautiful sunset to finish off the day.      We always fall into bed exhausted but happy. I think???                Carol
