Guess What

First snow of the season in these parts!!! E had to get right out there and shovel the deck, which soon turned into throwing snowballs at the door windows!!
Had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. Everyone came here for dinner. We spread the cooking around so it seemed like I didn't have much to do. I supposed I could have cleaned and organized a little better. But as my sister likes to say, "it's ok, everyone knows how you are." So instead I spun some fiber. Much funner than chasing dust bunnies.

chilly

It's cold and crispy outside these days. Lots of frost and chilly temps. I don't understand when people complain about it though. Maine in November=cold. It's almost Thanksgiving after all.

A little green among the brown.

This rock looks like it's wearing a coat or a hat or a blanket. Something to keep warm.

I say, if it's going to be this cold, we might as well have snow!!

it's a girl

More cow stuff but who can resist a baby!?! Bonnie had her baby Saturday afternoon. She weighs 75 pounds. Pretty little compared to Mom.One more baby due next week.................

food and water

Just walked down to the pasture to make sure the cows had water. Only a little ice was at the bottom of the tub, and the hose was frozen. Came back and checked on Bonnie (who looks more like a Helga). She was due to have a calf on Tuesday. She was just sitting there chewing her cud. Our Moms always calf after their due date, but we still check on them many times a day, we can't help it. Waited about 30 minutes and went back to the pasture and successfully filled the tub.
I think they were thirsty!!

And hungry!!
It's quite a crew when they're all home for the winter. That hasn't happened yet, but soon will.

me too

E was quite irritated that he couldn't vote, so I made him his own ballot. It included President, Congress and Senate, plus two state and one local referendum. I limited it, because I'd have to explain weirdly worded things to him.
E is pretty sure he was responsible for Barack Obama winning.
But he tried to take back his vote for the guy who lost the senate race!!

vote

Don't forget to get out and vote today. You can't do any complaining if you don't put in your opinion. So, go.............................
