Spring is here!

We have had some pretty warm weather the last few days.  Today it was pretty cold, but I keep saying it will be summer before we know it.  Since the grass is getting greener, the cow's are moving around in the pasture a lot more.  When they are close to the road and hear a big truck go by, they take off running to get away!  It is really funny to see them all run, but unfortunately they are starting to get it used to it. 

Since we are on they way to summer, it is time to start thinking about getting some new friends to add to the collection.  With more friends, comes adding places to put them.  So starts our quest of fixing fences.  We have plenty of land to keep these animals, but a lot of work needs to be done to make sure they can't get away, are sheltered, and watered.  Not only are we thinking about getting new animals, we also have to decide what to do with the ones that we already have.  Of course it would be awesome to keep them forever, since most of them have names.  I know we can't keep them.  The day Whitey, Butterscotch, and Number 42 leave will be heartbreaking to say the least.  We have sold 5 cows so far and have had 1 die.  I keep getting attached to the furry big animals.  Hopefully, the husband will finally learn that I need 2 baby pygmy goats, a mini cow, a llama, and a pig to keep on the farm.
