It is that time of year again... Starting seedlings, calves being born, preparation for the upcoming market/CSA season.
A little male calf by the name of Atticus was born on, very fitting, the first day of spring! And two days later, another little male calf was born; we named him Atlas. A big female was born on the 25th, we named her Bellatrix. Twins were born on the 27th; the little male survived and his name is Benedict.
Rachel is in the process of adopting a little male calf from a nearby farm that was born on March 17th, and therefore bestowed the unoriginal name of 'Patrick'. (He is actually a twin, and his brother was named 'Pat'.) We have since decided to call him another --equally Irish-- name; Finn.
I'm going out to clean the pasture spring ;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I shan't be gone long. --You come too.
I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I shan't be gone long. --You come too.
