I've been wondering when my tree trimming crew was finally going to show. A momma with her twin 2-yr old calves, one a bull, the other a cow. They really look fat and healthy. Furry steaks on the hoof in my book! How the blazes they get so fat eating twigs is beyond me. The cow left a trail in the lower yard consisting of post holes in a line. A grouse landed next to her track at dusk and started hustling for the seed under the feeder and kept disappearing in her post holes. Pretty comical to watch. That one will be back here shortly for dinner. I was kind enough to snowshoe the trails flat him this afternoon. I wish I had been here when they showed up. The calves walked right up the path in front of my deck; I could have hopped right on for a ride!
