Mothers Are Love


Newborn Polish Arabian Foal
The farm is bursting with life, and it is in the spring that all the mothers on the farm are hard at work: giving birth and taking care of foals, chicks, lambs and calves. It is a sight to behold; I have seen ewe's face off against border collies, cow's hide their new born calves and horses run in formation to scare of coyotes. It is not only the farm animals that are busy but the bird life on the farm is also in full force, wild ducks are nesting, the cranes too and the pasture birds like kill deers are busy protecting their nests. We rely heavily on the wild pasture birds to keep our pasture's vibrant, they eat bugs and also help to decompose cow pies!

To all the human mother's who read my blog, but especially to my mother: Happy Mother's Day!
