It’s been way too muddy to get out on the farm and check for babies calves
Although, Terry did go out early, early one morning (while everything was frozen) to check and also see how the feed was holding up
He reported there are no calves yet and the food is holding…
It’s snowing here today. The sky is all gray and full of big fat flakes
We are moving between snow and partial melt, which makes MUD, back to snow
Which I know is good for the soil, the plants, the big trees — and it IS January after all.
And for something rather fun…the Great Horned Owls are back…they winter here and raise their little owlets. Our daughter, who lives just across the field from us, was able to capture one of the Owls resting on the old, old apricot tree with her cell phone.
Now, how cool is that!

I guess it’s time for me to look for our neighborhood owls! I hope things either get colder or much warmer for you.

Apricot tree? I thought that we had a monopoly on those. I suppose that the air is dry there. Why is it so exposed and away from everything?

Because it is the only tree left from an 100 + orchard and I love it.

How sad that all his friends are gone. At least he survives. All the apricot trees that I remember here are gone, and I can not even imagine that they were ever in some of the places that I know they once lived.

Me too, but there are noises that the cows might be leaving in two weeks.

Yes, it is January after all. Love the photo of the owl. I can’t see those that live behind me as the trees are too dense. I hear them though.
