I needed a laugh this morning. I found it on flickr. Now this is one serious dog birthday party.
There’s a series of Gabe’s birthday shots uploaded by Has Furry Children.

Another reason why those in agriculture always say, “we need the moisture”.
They say it’s your birthday
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006| Your Birthdate: February 21 |
| Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life.The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental.
There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, “couldn’t care less” attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too many superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs. |
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?It’s a Happy Birthday to me - It’s just good to still be at home with my husband.

It’s that time of year again - with the below zero temps we have to be vigilant.
My helper - she doesn’t really help - but she is good company.
Much warmer now.
Reunited.
When I went back to check, a heifer had started to calve. I kicked the rest of the girls out to the pasture. The heifer had dropped her calf, and left it to follow the herd. I locked her up and called my father in law. Two hands are better than one! We loaded the calf sled and brought the pair to the barn. The heifer seemed to want her calf, especially after I put some oats on it. Well, the grain must have been more interesting than the calf. The oats had been licked off, but the baby was still wet and cold. It’s in the warmer now.

This little guy was born around 9 last night.
This girl was born the night before.
In case we didn’t have enough to deal with already
Monday, February 6th, 2006We “upgraded” in October. I’ve barely been on the Internet since then.
This is the replacement modem - after the original went bonkers:
This is how I get it to stay on:
The other option would be to hold the modem in my left hand and try to keep the button ON - while typing with my right, and chewing gum.
Maybe not. . .
