Life's little miracles
Whether a newborn child, kitten, chicken, puppie or calf, there is nothing more miraculous than new life.
Our third calf is due any minute, and of course this seems like forever. Just like watching the pot to boil. We walk out to the pasture, just to check, every couple hours, and nothing. Which probably means Pete will be calling up to the house tomorrow morning 5:30 am to say "It's here" I'm hoping he'll say "they're here" for some odd reason I think that big fat cow is going to have twins. I finally named her Bessie, instead of #5, although #47 seems to be stuck with her number. Tomorrow is a new day full of hope and new promises.
Why would I want to be anything more than a farm girl. This life is so quietly exciting, some days I can't stand it.
