Here's Pearl's mom Mistletoe.

And believe it or not, I think Mistletoe's mom is Hope. The cow who is due to calve any day now!

I love how the black fades into brown, it’s really pretty! How long does it take you to do all that work. You have cows plus extra kittens, that’s a lot.

The cats, probably a couple minutes or less. Although we do hold and pet kitties a lot around here. At least my siblings and I do. The cows... it depends. Around an hour twice a day milking them. Feeding them can vary. Chores before hand can vary. But there's also hay making which takes hours over the summer. And there are other chores that vary from day to day.

And I have my chickens....

You make hay?? That’s really cool, do you grow it too? How many chickens do you have?

Well, I don't make hay. My dad and brothers do. I don't do much tractor driving myself. We grow hay fields, but still have to buy more hay for winter.

I currently have 67 chickens. I found my sweet Lucille dead this morning. I don't know how she died. But, God is in control.
