I am super excited because my heifer calf that got AIed a month ago is PREGNANT!! And not just pregnant but doubly so. Apparently the blood test can even tell when the cow is carrying twins and so unless something happens between now and July 23, Bessie will be delivering twins. I really, really, really hope they make it safely into the world and that Bessie does ok in the delivery (a matching set of heifers would be super awesome!)

My milk cow Dixie was in standing heat yesterday so I called the AI guy and we got her bred. I chose to go full-blood Ayrshire this time so I am praying for a nice heifer. I would like to get an ayrshire heifer out of her and once it is milking age I will probably sell Dixie.
--------------------------------
Today was cold, drizzly, and miserable. I am so not ready for winter. How did I make it through 10 below 0 ? 20s is about killing me today.

I bought a coat for our pony, Stormy, to wear in inclement weather so I put it on this morning and it is super cute! I bought a bright colored, polka-dotted pony coat and it looks great on him!

We had 4-H today. We played a turkey racing game and made turkeys in disguise (we disguised them so they could survive Thanksgiving!). We had some really creative ideas - there were turkeys dressed as a ninja, an Indian, a sheep, and a leprechaun. There were turkeys wearing pink pjs, black from head to toe, a fancy dress & heels, a button-down trench coat, and more! It was lots of fun (I think the kids even enjoyed it!).
--------------------------------
I got new tires on my Tahoe so I am ready for ice & snow. My van doesn't do well in ice or snow so having the Tahoe will make life easier for sure.
--------------------------------
I made the best pumpkin pie ever and we had it for dessert tonight. I even made whipped cream to go with it. Now I know why I don't make it very often - I can't resist eating it all!!
--------------------------------
My weight loss competition ended this week and all in all I have lost 25 pounds since April. I really have another 15 I want to lose but its hard and I might have to work for them. With winter coming, I think it would be a good idea to get the kids involved with exercising with me so maybe I will put that on the daily schedule - then we all can get some exercise.
-------------------------------
Hope your weekend is a good one!
