I have yet to meet someone who doesn't love a beautiful fall day. Mild temps, warm sun, fall colors, and appreciating one more day in the great outdoors can all add up to a perfect day. With old man winter knocking on the door, I take these precious fall days very seriously. Three things can make a fall day even better in my book... 1) a little one-on-one time with my girl, 2) an excuse to get the horses out, and of course 3) anything that involves cows!Normally in the rush of everyday life we would just jump in the pickup and drive down to check these girls but today, we decided to ride the horses down. It was about a 2 1/2 mile trip each way just to get to the pasture but we had a nice chat along the way.
One of the highlights was finding this little gem.
We brought the rest of the fall calving cows home a week or so ago but this momma just couldn't wait on us. And once she did deliver her healthy little calf, she proceeded to hide it from us. Really well.... But now he's old enough to hang with the rest of the herd like a big boy. One of these days we'll haul him and his momma home so they are with the rest of the pairs. Until then, he's a one of a kind.
It was a nice 3 hour break in our day and a rare moment to slow down and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us! I highly recommend it to everyone!
