The above photo is yours truly the ol'lady farmer carring water to the live stock because the water lines are froze in the barn, the lines have been frozen for weeks now. I just look at it as just part of the experience of living on a farm. The calves are doing well by the way and it looks as though we will be having some baby goats this spring too.
The bird feeders have had lots of business this year and the Cardinals have been feeding in flocks. Sometimes there are more than ten males and and an equal number of hens feeding at the same time. Talking of birds the chickens are doing well and still laying regular which is most unusual at this time of year, I am very surprised at their laying ability, got seven eggs yesterday from eight birds in the middle of a winter freeze-up.
Now it is just a matter of hanging on till spring which will be here in just a few weeks and then it will be time to plant the garden and tend to the new born animals. Before I know it I will be out berry picking again :)
