    Birth Announcement from the Barn

    Saturday, February 23

     

     

    1 (1)

    It was exciting to receive the news of the birth of Ace at Jeff and Chris' farm. This is their first calf - after buying the young cattle last year.

     

     

    1 (2)

    I was anxious to go to the farm the next day after church - and passed these two pretty barn cats as I followed Jeff through the barn.

     

     

    1 (3)

    There he is!

     

     

    1 (4)

    So cute.

     

     

    1 (5)

    He is missing the tip of his tail. Jeff thinks one of the bigger animals stood on it or bit it off.

     

     

    1 (6)

    There will be another baby before long as the cow on the right appears ready to give birth.

    There are also several baby lambs.

     

     

    1 (9)

     

     

    1 (10)

    The twins were hiding in the corner.

     

     

    1 (11)

    This mama did not want me to see her baby.

     

     

    1 (12)

    Jeff called me to come outside because baby Ace was running and jumping.

     

     

    1 (13)

    He would stop for a bit then run to the other end of the pen.

     

     

    1 (17)

    It was so much fun to watch. Jeff was concerned that he might run right through the electric fence.

     

     

    1 (19)

    Then he discovered the opening to the meadow.

    The poor mama. She could hardly keep after him.

     

     

    3 (1)

    Back inside the barn I finally got a picture of the black lamb.

     

     

    3 (2)

    I love visiting the mamas and babies.

    How excellent are the Lord's faithful people!

    My greatest pleasure is to be with them.

    There were egg dishes, creamed dry beef, fruit, pastries, juice and coffee.

    Afterwards we played two 'brain-testing" games and enjoyed great fellowship.

    We love our Sunday school class.

    We took the long way home and stopped at Esbenshade's Greenhouses for my free birthday month primrose.

    It helps us feel like spring is just around the corner.

    Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us.

    By this power he can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
