Random pix (mostly cows)

I still have barely set foot outside since Monday before last. We've had wild amounts of snow and the weather really hasn't been conducive to a convalescent. My wonderful husband is still doing my barn chores, bless him.

But I've been able to get a few shots through windows. Here's Thor standing inside the hay sled, looking like he's waiting for a ride. Mama Matilda is behind him on the left and big sister Pearly is on the right.


During a break in our weather a few days ago, when a rare shaft of sunlight came through, Matilda stood square in the driveway and chewed her cud in the sun. A few minutes later the sun disappeared, and when I glanced out the window I saw Matilda had just plain fallen asleep. Zzzzzzz......


Here's Lydia's favorite spot in the winter. I give you the irony of a dog with four inch thick fur whose favorite February location is wrapped around the woodstove.


I stepped out into the barn a couple days ago and learned that in my absence, Thor has started experimenting with solid food. I caught him with a few strands of hay hanging from his mouth.


"Who, me?"

  1. Thor is absolutely adorable. Too bad he has to get big and muscle-bound. Oh, suddenly I thought of Arnold Schwarzennegger. Huh, odd.

  4. Sleepin' moo cow, sleepin' dog, calf in box on mama's blog. Quiet hush of winter snow, simple scenes as life's gifts flow.
