My sunflowers have finally started to bloom. I always anticipate their opening, checking each morning when it seems as if it's getting close. A watched pot never boils, and it is the same with them. This year, they stand towering over the tomatoes and seem as if they're standing sentry. The bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love them, visiting them daily for pollen. Later the finches will visit and I will again fail to save enough seed, choosing to leave it for them instead. I love my homegrown vegetables but flowers bring me just as much joy.

This evening's view from the tractor.

We got the little guy tagged yesterday. He gets pretty annoyed when I handle him now, another good sign of his improved health. Given his improved status, Delaney has named him: Lucky Luca. He and his mom will return to the herd in another week or so.

Bull calf update: he's hanging in there, folks. He is nursing from all 4 quarters and standing on his own. He's strong enough to pull away from me when I am working on him, so that's a good sign. I gave him some meds today to help aid in digestion-- I am unhappy with his stools-- but he seems to be getting enough nutrients to ward off dehydration (a sure killer in young animals). Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers, community! 🙂

It's never a dull moment around here. After deciding one of our cows simply wasn't going to breed back, we reluctantly made a date to process her this winter.
