Wanna go on a Walk-About?

The sun is shining today and the temp is a balmy 40.  Would you like to take a walk about and I'll show you a bit of the place.
Get your rubber boots on because once we're out the back door, this is the walkway-
Look to your right, no, don't pet her she'll knock you over.  That's Jenny our Newfie. She loves people, but she doesn't realize how large she is.
It takes awhile, but the clothes will dry.  In this weather, about two days, as long as Jenny doesn't pull them off of the line.

That's part of my garden showing!  Yea!  I knew it was under there somewhere.
My son is only 14, but he has already invested in this fine machine for his mode of transportation when he gets his license.
Watch your step.  The south side of the shop is in dire need of some clean up.
Let's head out to the cow pasture.  That's Molly, she's about ready to drop her calf.  She's the one milk cow that we have.
That's the bull there.

We have mostly Red Angus cows.  They all look so much alike, that I can't tell them apart.

Here are Cutie and Sweetie.
And of course, my Sadie.  She loves the camera.  Close ups are all she ever lets me do.  As I back up, she moves forward.  Just pet her and she'll love you.

Let's head to the barn.  Those chickens will move when you open the door.
The ducks are just inside the door.  They love the sunshine.

Over in that pen is Bear, my Angora buck. 
You can give him a scratch under his chin.  He's a good boy.
I think all of his does have gone outside to play in the snow.
Come look in this pen.  This is my daughter's new bull calf.  She named him Kevin.
Well that's a bit of our place.  Oops, I forgot to take you over to the rabbit yard, we'll have to do that next time you come.  Maybe we'll have green grass and a garden in then.  Thanks for stopping by.

Ohhh I finally caught up to you... you lost me at Jenny I am afraid, I petted her before I read your warning, What a sweetheart but I am a bit muddy now lol. My MIL used to call hanging her clothes out like that freeze drying them:> but it worked. Oh I remember Sadie love that thick hair.. running my fingers thru it... Your angora fiber is especially nice this year.. I supposed you will be cutting it soon? Ohhh what a cute calf.. is your girl bottling him? I hope we can take the rest of the tour soon... I will make sure not to pet Jenny next time, or maybe not.. dogs are my weakness. The cute little pup of mine you saw in my last homesteader post, is right around 90 lbs and when he gets excited OH MY! So I do understand Jenny:>

Thanks for coming on the walk about.Yep, that little calf, Kevin, is a bottle baby. We're being blessed with another one today. Still waiting for ours to drop.
Jenny has learned to take the hook off of her collar. Really. She goes into her doghouse, and comes out a free dog. Don't have any clue how she does it.
