Seems as if winter is here and finally sticking around for a bit. Just in time for our out of character calving to start. Sigh. I do so prefer calving late when the grass is green and the babies don't have to experience the cold and wet as much. We already have one on the ground, a pleasant surprise to drive out in the tractor to feed after a cold night and see a little black dot running and bucking on the horizon after having the last two cows abort. Perhaps the gentleman we bought the cows from had his dates written down wrong, cows being due to calf March 24? Maybe someone sorted wrong at the salebarn.
I do enjoy the cold winter days when I can be inside most of the day without feeling like I need to get out and get tasks done outside. All cozy by the fire completing assignments with the girls. I will be praying for good, willing attitudes this morning and a mama with a meek and quiet homeschool spirit. The Lord has been working on me that way lately. There is so much business and pressure to get things done and I tend to use that as an excuse to be irritable and tempermental. I am certain Christ doesn't allow excuses. "Be holy for I am holy."
And so, here I go. I shall set my eyes upon the goal and get my day started. Blessings to you fellow mamas, be not discouraged! Have a good day!
