Due to publishing issues, the last picture was not actually the last cow picture. This is another new calf, about 3x the size of primrose. Her name, for now, is Pete because Em always thinks she's a boy. Poor Pete was very stressed about being caught.

Are you tired of cow pictures yet? Well, this is the last one. This cow is curious and has a sweet face. She didn't think Emily was very salty, but she gave my hand a thorough licking. We were sure she was going to slobber on our faces too, but she backed off.  

Primrose reminds me of Jessie in this picture. Does anyone know why? 

Professional cattle wrestlers. 

Primrose! She's actually my daddy's, not my grandpa's. She's small and tame and kissable. 

Austin is the Bull. He is big. He's sweet, but strong and a spoiled. He will not eat an apple that has been partially eaten. He likes to be brushed but if you stop, he will push you. He's like a dog that wants to be petted, only a lot stronger.

The next Whitey? The next Bianca (that's my car's name)? 

Pink nose. All our calves are supposed to have red faces, not white ones. Yeah, that's working out.

Hiking at Mt. Spokane with Em and Chris. We couldn't get to the top of the mountain (though there's not any snow on the road anyway) so we went for a walk in sink-hole central. Beautiful, isn't it? 

Eva is my little pixie. She's rather attached to Carter, or anything else that moves and will pay attention to her. "Carter! Come with me!"

Ivan The Terrible or Ivan-Honey, formerly "Whitey", lives at The Nordhagen Animal Half-way House. He is wearing the sleeve of this sweater because he is shaved. He is ugly and smelly, but sweet. When he is done having his medicine, he can be a great barn cat if anyone will take him!

It is sad to be a writer with nothing to say to the world.
Hey World! It's me! I've nothing to tell you!

Jakob learning to be a techie. 

I love this picture of Jakob, but he can't stop moving! He's almost 4, what do I expect? 

Look! Do you know what you're looking at?? WILD horses! With a baby! Outside Virginia City, NV. 

He's so not touchy-feely.  

So I was just strolling down the street the other day... 

My roommate of two years, Andy, went and got herself hitched! (David, if you ever hurt her...) No, don't worry. We like David a lot. 

Auntie Katie is SOOOO funny. 

The newest man in my life, Caleb James Nordhagen. 

Mother and child 

My nephew Andrew. One photogenic child. 

Can I help you? 

Dey's buddies. 

My life is rosey... 

This is Fitzwilliam. I adopted him from the street. Isn't he handsome? 

Happy Birthday to my one and only dear Jessity-Jess-Jess! I love you!

Renoir and other people's blogs.

Is this the most boring blog ever?
Do you have headaches every day?
I do.

However, I will say this one (semi)-interesting thing. Today I went to the MAC (the northwest museum of arts and culture: the eastern Washington historical society) and saw some very interesting things. Like a picture of The Y in north Spokane when it was just that: a Y in the road. Also, I looked at an impressionist gallery and am now enchanted by Renoir.
That's all.

The other interesting things I could say really belong in other people's blogs. Like I have a new cousin. And a sheep died, along with her two unborn lambs because she should have had a c-section yesterday. And my sister keeps wearing my nice Eddie-Bauer white down vest over her goat blood and placenta-smeared clothes, even though I bought her a vest of her very own.
See? Other people's blogs. You should tell them to blog those things.
