Back to the grind...

Aeryn is now back from summer camp but has been so busy getting ready for the fifth grade she has not had a chance to make time for blogging. Even though I have informed her that it is "her turn". That's okay. I have lots of thoughts to share.

It is now the end of August and we have had our cows at the farm for four months now. Though it seems like it has been much longer. Aeryn loves them more every day. I think they even may have missed her when she was at camp.

We have moved the girls into a different pasture. It has been suck a long hot summer trucking water to them was getting to be a bit of a chore. One that we could not keep up with. So now they are in a beautiful pasture with a pond and more green grass than these four girls will ever be able to consume. And they LOVE it. We moved them over the day before Aeryn got home from camp.

Aeryn loves their new pasture. She likes to feed them at the edge of the pond so that she can watch the ducks play while the cows are eating. Though she may not be doing that much more after having to fish a feed bucket out of the pond with my mother's umbrella. Silly girl had left the buckets their over night and one fell in.

I love going with her to watch her feed. Though it happens less and less lately with my work schedule. She can stand anywhere in the field and call to the cows and as soon as they hear her voice they come running. A couple of evenings ago we could see both Roseanna and Lola from where we parked but we could not see the twins. Then from up near the pond we see a little head poke up and then look back for her sister. All of a sudden Rachel comes barreling down the hill out of the pond, water flying everywhere! Apparently she had been taking an evening swim and we had interrupted her. Fortunately she decided that coming to get her dinner was not an event event to be missed.
