Your outpouring of kindness is touching beyond words. Cary is doing very well, and I have every hope that she'll be just fine.<BR/><BR/>I kept her in a bonding pen until yesterday morning to give her a chance to recuperate privately (and stay clean!). She cried for her baby for the first two days which is normal - and a very good sign - and then she settled down and enjoyed the special attention.<BR/><BR/>I know some of you have questions, and I'm hoping to have a chance to answer them in the next day or two. In the meantime, I need to check the three loaves of bread in the oven and then go feed everybody some treats! : )</B>Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-51271443918139183972008-03-17T18:29:00.000-05:002008-03-17T18:29:00.000-05:00A lot of us are thinking of you.A lot of us are thinking of you.sugarcreekstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398483543918415852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1734526734251335882008-03-17T16:04:00.000-05:002008-03-17T16:04:00.000-05:00So sad!

Their spring is earlier than ours; there were daffodils, flowering trees, and some tiny lambs. <BR/><BR/>While there, I visited the nearby "Middle Farm", which has an organic farm shop and lunch /tea room, as well as educational programs for school children. They make and sell all kinds of cider and perry (the pear equivalent of cider- yum). Their shop is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>They also sell various livestock-related equipment, and they had those cool hen houses shaped like the ones we were talking about, only even nicer- wooden ones- really beautiful.. I thought of you as we wandered around among the ducks and geese.<BR/><BR/>Someday I'll have me some chickens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-58953525566275458452008-03-15T14:39:00.000-05:002008-03-15T14:39:00.000-05:00I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but very happy ...I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but very happy to hear that Cary made it through the ordeal.

Just too long and too hard a birth.<BR/>The cow is up and eating and she'll do fine next time, I'm sure. <BR/>I'm tired today too.
