Greetings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am very excited to announce that early this morning Cow\ngave birth to healthy twin kids!! Two adorable black and white boys! This is\nthe first time Bent Pine has had twins of the same gender. Sadly, there was a\nthird kid, but he was stillborn; an unfortunately common occurrence with\ntriplets. Cow is slightly frustrated about being confined to her pen for the\nnext few days, but otherwise Mama and babies are doing well. It\u2019s not like\nthere is much for Cow to complain about; motherhood has upgraded her to the\nlarger \u201cdeluxe suite,\u201d or what used to be Sadie\u2019s pen. Sorry, Sadie, but don\u2019t\nfret! Now you have some new playmates! They are so tiny though \u2013 they make Sadie<\/em> look big!<\/p>\n\n\n\n While I am on the subject of Sadie\u2026 she has adjusted so\nwell! This weekend she started venturing out into the main yard and even spent\nmost of yesterday exploring it all on her own. I might also add that everyone (even\nthe animals) is quite relieved that Sadie no longer cries incessantly. They\ngrow up so fast\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am also happy to report that the kits and ducklings are\ndoing well! One duckling was struggling a couple days ago. It was weak and\nhaving trouble of some sort, and we did not know if it would last long.\nThankfully, it has been improving. Even if it\u2019s not quite as strong as its\nsiblings yet, it\u2019s still a tough little fella!<\/p>\n\n\n\n New life is springing up everywhere these days. The \u201cwhimsical\u201d\nsunflowers I helped plant about a week ago have finally begun to sprout! We\nplanted them in various spots all over both farms; in front of the houses,\namong the gardens, behind Tiny Tilly. What a lovely sight they will be when Summer\nrolls around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It looks like the cold weather is finally behind us, so I am\npreparing to sweat out the remainder of my stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I must go feed the animals now, so here are a few final thoughts:\n1) You can\u2019t tell the sex of a duck until it is grown; 2) There is another\nopossum under the house \u2013 oh joy; 3) Spike sneezed eight<\/em> times in a row yesterday, probably a new record; 4) Kids are\nso CUTE!! [I could break my face from grinning and saying \u201caww\u201d so much \u2013 help!]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully I can find time to make a video this week to show\nyou all the new babies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s all for today, folks! Bye for now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sofi Grace <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Greetings! I am very excited to announce that early this morning Cow gave birth to healthy twin kids!!
