As many of you know, we lease pasture from neighbors. Most of the pictures you see of our new calves are from this property about a mile away. There is, or was, a small wooden barn there where we stored hay and the tractor that we use to move the large round bales around in the field. Yesterday it burned to the ground. It was so quick that nothing could be saved. But thankfully, there were no people or animals endangered. One cow went on about the business of delivering her calf within sight of the smoke and flames!

| Michael and Kenneth spent the rest of the day, into the night tending the smoldering hay bales as the wind swirled around. The plan was to spread the bales so that the fire could burn itself out. Last night's storms stopped that plan, so now there's piles of wet burnt hay, but at least no danger of burning more pasture or surrounding homes. |
