Changes

I've said it before, and it's still true, I love how things are always changing around the farm. The fields turn from brown to bright grassy green at the same time that the leaves turn from deep green to yellow to brown.

 The oldest tractor on the farm came out of retirement to help feed the cattle.

 The cattle are learning the feeding routine. They follow where the tractor goes and then still seem surprised when their food shows up.

 Watching them eat makes me soooooooooooo thirsty. Goodness.

 It's getting colder outside, the season of playing in the dirt with tractors, trucks and pots and pans is over.

 The cattle have provided not only a change in scenery, but a change in smell to the farm. Those perked up ears mean only one thing - they're about to run!

 We went on a walk on Sunday afternoon and noticed on how quickly the cattle have changed the ground inside their pen from grassy to dirt/mud.

 Sunday was a lovely day. We went out to the creek and the boys served us "coffee" and "snacks" from their "coffee shop." Axle and the cats followed us out to the creek, and of course that brings me to another change.

 The pile of leaves is still outside the house where Axle died. It's so strange to not have him here.

Basketball season has begun for Ben. That gives me a lot more time to be a single parent - for better or worse. To keep busy during these long evenings in the house, we've been playing games and putting together puzzles. Some evenings that goes really well, others not so much.
The changes just keep coming around here.
