This is the last calf born on the farm to date. Farmboy "pulled" it at 5 a.m. yesterday after getting his dad out of bed to help. They used a winch! God.

Today they moved him and his mama out of the barn and into a pasture, but it was no easy task to get the new mom to go where they wanted her to.

The picture is Farmboy showing the calf to its mother, and calling her.

No, I haven't spent the day at the corrals. Not at all! I just took a walk out there this morning, made sure the fellas were doing things right.

Here the girls are having their morning repast.

Me, I got the edging put around another flower bed, and transplanted a bunch of virginia creeper, hollyhocks, snapdragons, purple coneflower, basil and oregano. Also got the nicotiana and daisies into pots.

Really, this is it. I'm almost done, but for the watering and weeding to come.

Got the tomatoes and peppers in the garden watered this evening. They're looking pretty wilted, poor things.
