Our neighbor's cows birthed steaming piles of wobbly legs on the sub-zero frozen ground with no cute hats or sled rides to warm cellars in the middle of the night! What a life! I often complained about the challenge of keeping my horses fed and watered in those harsh temperatures. At least they foaled in the spring when it was warm! I enjoy hearing words like reconnoiter and imagining the high-pitched, long-eared owls hoping to scavenge a feast. The images of you avoiding tumbling butt over teakettle while carrying a 90-pound calf in your arms are vivid. Great storytelling!! Once again, your story brought smiles to my day.

Sorry! I replied generally rather than to you Marnie. Thank you so much. You are so kind!
