Two medieval princesses are always better than one. Actually, Aspen is recreating a character from a Waterhouse painting, Ophelia.

New Milk Cow Heifer

Friday, November 6 –

One of our milk cows, Belle, showed up with this little darling this morning. Aspen wants to name her Beatrix, but I am thinking Brazil. She does have the shape of South America on her head…

Of course it has to be a “B” name. All of our other milk cows have had “B” names. Butterball, Betsy, Beast, Beauty, Buttercup, Bossie, Bessie and Belle.

Growing Up Red

Steel is getting bigger. He’s very rambunctious and has a lot of spring in his step. He’s so springy that he jumps along beside you as you walk.

Masquerade Ball

Saturday, October 24 –

The church where Atlanta and Jordan attend hosted a get-together while we were in town. It was fun getting to know some of their friends better.

Perhaps these costumes will give you some ideas of what to wear for our own Costume Ball coming up in Turkey next weekend, Nov. 7, everyone welcome!

While in Tennessee, we got to attend the wedding of one of the West girls, Cece. The venue was also at the farm of some of our friends, the Lee’s. Everything was beautiful and the weather held out and was perfect.
