Yesterday, the afternoon sun was shining so nicely in the pasture where the cows and donkeys were hanging out. I decided to slip on my farm shoes, and head out with the camera to see what I could see. Alan let Dumbo and Dixie out into the pasture with the others, and Dumbo has decided that he is a free range bull, and no longer comes to us looking for snacks or headrubs.
He has his mother's eyes...
...and her strong watchful gaze.
He wasn't too sure about me with the camera, but curious enough to watch and wonder.
Here he is, watching Dixie off in the distance.
Ever feel like you're being watched?
Pixie Stix is always very curious when we're in the pasture.
She does a LOT of air sniffing when we're around...
...I usually catch a few shots of her making goofy faces.
She has her mother's eyes, too. The dark lining around her eye makes them really stand out. I'm particularly fond of her little forehead curls!
One of these days, she'll learn to come to us looking for alfalfa snacks. They all do... amazing how easy it is to herd cattle with a bucket of alfalfa!
Babies, babies everywhere! What fun! Looks like Dumbo is off and running--he's a nice lookin' little guy. Glad they're both doing well.

What cuties they are! For some reason Dumbo's face gave me the giggles. I think he's going to be a fun boy.

I can't believe how much Dumbo has grown and changed in such a short time. He's got a real "dude" expression!

Get out that dehorning paste, and those slick round heads will always be that way. Picking flowers in the pasture will be a lot safer too....Love, Dad

They are SOOOOoooo adorable ~ maybe, just maybe even cuter then my favorite Boxcar Betty Gal:)
Do you think you could Federal Express one to me?

They look so precious at this age, don't they? Dumbo has really changed in the last week since I've seen him. Quite the independent little man, isn't he? Can hardly wait to see him again. And Pixie Stix too.
