mailman | Life on a Colorado Farm

We had a winter storm come in on Tuesday. What a long boring day that was….the cats and I slept most the day.

Then Wednesday we had SUNSHINE!

Beautiful SUNSHINE!

And Thursday!

And TODAY!

Early morning the birds still look like its cold.

The storm blew in a pair of Robin’s! Mom was ecstatic! I didn’t get it, they were just Robins. But Mom was happy so I was too!

I got in huge trouble because I brought in a fresh afterbirth. I had just brought it onto the lawn when Mom saw me. Grabbed the really yummy thing and hauled it to the burn barrel.

Bummer!

Mom, Dad, and I do a daily calf run. I Love Going on the Four-Wheeler! I just love it! I’m safe up there, from those old mean momma cows, and I can see and sniff to my heart’s content, without having to walk!

Mom and Dad are still cutting and hauling and stacking wood. Three loads a day. Although, they don’t go if the weather is snowing.

Just a minute…..

Scratch, scratch…I’ve got an itch!!!

OH!

MAILMAN!!!

GOTTA RUN!
BOOMER

Mom buys me toys to play with…but I don’t like them.

Mom throws me balls…I chase them sorta…Fuzzy and I used to place chase with each other, but not really. We enjoyed chase the fox, or chase the squirrel, or splash in the ditch more. Well, ummmmmmmm, Fuzzy enjoyed splash the ditch; I liked (and still do) GATHERING NEWS!!!

LOL!

News for the day!

Mom moved a couple of the garden toads from under my dog houses to her corral garden.

They really seem to like it out there…works better than getting living under my dog house.

We have frogs in the irrigation ditches! I love, LOVE, to put my nose on them and watch them hop away.

Our yard is full of birds…they sing us awake every morning and chirp sleepy little songs in the evening to put us to bed.

Lots of Gambol’s Quail this year. Dad is really happy we have more pheasants than last year. We lost lots of pheasants a few years back and it’s taken awhile for them to recover.

There are baby raccoons in one of the trees in the yard. Cute little things!

There are raccoons in the yard, in the farm yard, and out of the ditch. There are as many raccoon as there are fox; is seems.

As for the home front—Sammy does a very good job of keeping the mice down. (I’m glad that his job…it’s NOT something I’m ever going to do—Fuzzy would do it, but NOT ME!)
