Please hurry spring

I just am getting cabin fever awful, I want to be outside so bad. At least it has stopped snowing and the sun is shining. It is going to be in the 40's for quite a few days and hopefully all this snow will melt away. Of course then we can wallow in the mud. I read somewhere once- What are the four seasons called in New York?- Winter, still winter, mud and construction. Oh so true!

With this spring fever I have everytime I am out and see seeds I get more. Really too many if I don't stop but I am wanting to be in the garden. My husband says if I don't stop we will have to turn the whole yard into a garden.

We had another calf and whoo hoo it is a heifer and I didn't have to do any night checks on this cow, in fact we were expecting two different cows to freshen before her. On a sad note though, Corin, the cow we waited forever on then she had the huge calf, well she won't get up. After she had the calf she was up a licking it and doing great. We left for a couples hours that day and when we came back she was flat out with milk fever. The vet came and gave her calcium in the veins and she spunked up but didn't get up. She dig drag herself into a stall and one day we went up and she was two stalls down so she had to get up for that. She is really spunky and alert and healthy looking but just not getting up. The vet saw her again and said maybe it is a muscle now and with some pain killers and time she will get up. We keep trying to help her but she just can't get it. I was telling her one day if she didn't get up she would be hamburger, not like that would work and I didn't really mean it but my son in hopes that she doesn't end up on a bun has taken over her feeding. He is so good he is up there watering and feeding her faithfully. Maybe with all this attention she just got lazy and is enjoying it. Hopefully she will soon, the vet seems to think she will so we will keep trying.

Well think spring!!! I figure I better go throw all the seed catalogs away, for my own good, because I do still have away to go before I will be digging in the dirt.
