Well, it’s with fond hearts
And sad good-byes
We all watched the cows
being rounded up yesterday morning around 10:00
Heading to their home place.
The cranes were upset for a spell but came back. Which is a good thing.
Still, the fields feel empty without the cows.
Moving toward spring work now. Although, today we have snow and rain and not very nice conditions.

I’m willing to bet that any rain or snow you get this time of the year is welcome.

And so another farming year begins. The cows have left you with a useful legacy on the land, a little fertiliser for the soil as well as a friendly presence. The snow and rain are helping to wash the nutrients in, and are building water stocks in the mountains. It’s a good start. I say this every year: Don’t work too hard, it’s your time of life to take it a bit easier. And every year you and Terry work harder than anyone I know.

Me too! The fields seems empty. Although the Cranes and Geese are thick on them. That helps.
