Jeziah got a guitar for Christmas last year. For the longest time it was out of commission because a string broke. Well, it's working again, and I can't listen to it for too long in the house, so I send him outside. But I think this is the way it should be...picking tunes outside on the veranda! He makes up his own songs, or tries to copy other players, but he claims he can only play for so long because then his guitar is full of songs. Not sure yet how he deletes his songs to start over...the minds of kids!
The kids found this abandoned calf in the far corner of the pasture. Turns out the mother had twins and didn't want one. We agreed that if they nursed it back to health and fed it every day until it could eat on it's own, they could have the money for it when it came time to sell it. They were doing so well, and the calf was like a dog, it followed them everywhere. It really was kind of cute. Unfortunately, this guy lost his life to wildlife one night. One report says coyote, another wolf. Who knows, but we do know it was a sad day at our home! Actually, it was a sad week at our home, we lost 2 cows that week as well. The kids did get to keep the insurance money, but it didn't amount to as much as if they'd been able to keep it, but I think they also learned a lesson...we can't always have our way, no matter how much we plan.
Our dog Lacy had pups...AGAIN! These critters were born at the beginning of June, and we had them all gone by the beginning of August. There were 11 of them!! We will now no longer have this thrill...
Henry's sister Tina and her husband Les headed to Africa in June and came back with this cutie. His name is David and he's our newest nephew!
