Here’s our newest addition- Nadia!  I haven’t written in a while, so she’s nearly a month old now.  Nadia is the sister of Rosie, and the second daughter of Ann born on our farm.

She was named by my best cousin in the world, Amanda, who is always happy to help on our farm.  Amanda really saved me last month, when Bruce herniated a disc and was flat on his back for days (he probably did it by carrying Nadia in from the pasture, as you can see in this picture!). 

Amanda showed up for every milking, fed Nadia, shovelled manure, helped make yogurt, and did anything else she could do to help us through that challenging week.  She deserves much more than a calf named in her honor - thanks for everything, Amanda!
