This is Kit’s new wool blanket. A company out of New Zealand called WoolOver makes them. Ginny had a size medium for last year and when the weather got into the teens a while ago I got it out and tried to stuff it onto Kit. Ginny didn’t have a calf this past spring and is in really good shape with plenty of weight to keep her warm even in the colder than normal weather so she didn’t need her blanket this winter. Alas, the medium didn’t fit and I quickly ordered a large for Kit. Fits good, she seems to like it now that the trauma of having something shoved over her head is over. Only improvement I wish someone would make to these great blankets is to make pleats or some sort of contour for their hip bones because the blanket starts to rub after a week or so of wear.
Kit and her calf, Angus.
Temp is almost 45 degrees today so Kit gets a break from her blanket.
Ginny, she loves to eat and is a busy body that is good at advocating for herself. I am glad to see her in good weight this winter. She is warm and comfy!
Peanut, Ginny’s calf from two years ago. He will be our first beef cow and I will be glad to send him to the freezer this summer! He lives a pretty lush life with yummy hay, minerals and his momma’s company.
My favorite Waterford stove. We had a beautiful royal blue one at our old home and when we moved in here we quickly found out that a fireplace was almost useless at heating any part of the house other than the living room. After keeping watch online we found two of these used stoves for sale and bought them both. We gave one to a friend who needed a wood stove and saved this one for us. When it is 20 degrees outside I do with I had both of them, or that I had one that was twice this size!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
