It is going to get so nice out - can't wait

They are predicting highs starting Wed. to be between 60-80 degrees. I can't wait, I have a big to-do list started for when it is nice. First thing is to get hubby and get my raised beds built. I will definately be outdoors for days, I love to be outdoors! I still have not seen a robin here yet but I am sure on those days I will and I am sure the tulips will pop up finally.

We had another calf last night. I had the 4 AM watch and lucky for me when I got up there, there she was. No assistance needed. Our holstein cow, Chloe, had her. The calf is a holstein/jersey cross and is all dark brown. We usually only have the jersey bull for the heifers but we had a holstein bull that was not doing his job very well so until we could get a different one we let the jersey bull in with the cows so we will probably get quite a few crosses. I don't mind crosses, we have quite a few, but I was hoping to get some more full holstein cows. Maybe the next one.

Well after my check I was headed back to bed but had to walk through the barn where all the little ones are and they all started blatting at me. I thought what the heck and got those calf chores done early and they all happily went back to sleep but not for me I was wide awake so I will probably be to bed earlier tonight.
