January in BC: not precisely typical! 
We went for a walk along the dike by the river this afternoon. It feels like March, not January. We’ve come home to see that our third calf will be born shortly.
Added later: Baby #3 has arrived, hale and healthy. The first bull calf.
Titles are hard to come up with for NOVELS for crying out loud. Who can name a blog post more days than not? (Eyeing my recent history, okay, I’m a bit less often than that…) Does it mean I don’t have anything important to say? Most likely. But lest everyone keep worrying about me after…
that I have not mentioned how my neck has been doing in the last week or two. That’s not because it’s all better. Just the opposite, in fact. The xrays revealed permanent damage to three disks in my neck (if the numbers 5,6, and 7 mean anything to you). Interestingly, the pain I’ve had on…
Hubby and I did a fact-finding mission on Saturday regarding the pricing of modular housing. We had already decided that a fairly small and inexpensive two-bedroom unit would be adequate as we could install it over a raised basement for added square footage. It had been about five years since we’d priced these units and…
A couple months ago *we* turned south for the morning photo walk. This time I chose north. The ducklings wouldn’t cooperate, I’ll try again another day. They were so hidden in the grass I could barely make them out at all. Today’s direction for the walk/jog is north.
In my little world at work, things generally slow right down at this time of year. Folks usually have other kinds of shopping on their brains other than flooring. At least that’s how it was in 2001 and for a couple years thereafter. There’d be full days in December when no one came in and…
In a way it was a waste of a long weekend as Jim needed to finish getting the hay off the field. It was all baled his last days home, but he hadn’t had a chance to pick them up. Yesterday was about the hottest day we’ve had all summer. At six pm it was…

What a gorgeous picture! Hope all goes well with your third calf.

I can’t believe I got so busy I missed reading people’s blogs for a whole week! It was nice to sit and catch up though. Fun to watch your life, with all the work on two books, the shop, and all the animals, including Rustle the III or IV. Ever think of trying D-Con? It’s the only thing that has ever worked for me for actually wiping out a mouse population problem. 🙂 Love your picture! And yes, I’ll take that pair of rubber gloves over city life any time! (I’m hoping to move into more country-like surroundings when my lease here is up.)
Beautiful picture, Valerie. Give us more!
