Fall brings blooms, prairie, and new crop of calves

Fall has been very busy. Since we got home from MN, we've had quite a bit of drizzle for 6 days, but now the sun is shining and we're back to two crews roofing. Don't know how long we will be able to continue into the fall before it gets too cold! The crysanthemums are blooming now and of course love the cooler weather. However the two vizsalas don't like it so much. I have been cleaning out closets, drawers, and general junk from here and there but I have much more to go through. It's amazing how much "stuff" we have accumulated. One thing I always look forward to in the fall is the beginning of calving season. It is so much fun to see all the new babies next to their mamas. Some are red, black, or white face - you never know till you make the trek to the pasture to check them out. It has actually been a problem trying to find them in the super tall native grass. I found Fuzzy today but had to get awful close before I could see the new baby. She didn't like the dogs or me getting too close. Papa even flew over in Artie and never saw Fuzzy - she was probably laying down but was camouflaged by the grass. Papa had the picture below on his blackberry of K-Sis. She is modeling her Tinkerbell tutu which she had on for most of our visist. I believe she is gonna be the dancer in the family. She loves music.
