I think Jessie was glad to see her folks, she'd talked to them every day she was here, but it's just not the same as seeing them in person. We got to see their huge garden plot all plowed up with Allis' old plows and Jessie was excited to show them the seeds she got for them here at the drug store.
On the way home from Andy's John saw a cow giving birth so we stopped to watch. The mother was all alone in a field along the highway and was close to the fence where we got a good view of the event. This is the first time I've ever see a cow give birth and it was so cool! The calf was still at first and we worried that it was okay, but with lots of licking from the mom, it soon started stirring. Its attempts to stand had us laughing, he tipped over and fell flat the first few times. We named it Norman and cheered him on in his attempts and soon he was up and searching for his first meal. Here he is doing a headstand as he falls over on one of his first attempts.
And here he is after he was able to stand. It's amazing to me that this took such a short time.
