Lesson learned from a week old Calf.

I learned something for a week old calf yesterday that I really needed to know. We were loading the cows (three semi loads) on to the truck. Once the bigger calves where loaded we started with the littler ones. My 12 year old cousin wanted to push the little guy up the ramp. As she was you could tell he was scared to death to be walking away from mom. But he kept putting one little hoof in front of the other. He looked around the top deck of the truck, kicked a few time (thankfully never hit my cousin, me on the other hand have some tiny bruises on my shine), and got his little compartment, laid down and just waited. The lesson I learned is that we have to go on new roads and yes they can be scary we don’t always have someone there to hold our hand the whole way. But like this little guy we have to trust it will end well and keep on trucking. I am happy to say that when we unloaded he was much livelier and bounded of the semi like the longhorn he is. This morning while having my coffee He was jumping around his mom and playing with the other calves. Now waiting for the third load to arrive then off to mass!

Making the Most of a Modest Space

While some people who are selling their home think a small kitchen is a negative, there are several ways that you can make it stand out and appeal to potential buyers: Light it up. Darkness can often make smaller rooms feel even more cramped. To open the room up to more light, consider removing all curtains from windows and instead install recessed blinds. You still get the privacy factor, while also allowing your kitchen to have a brighter feel. Keep the counters tidy. Many people have things strewn about their kitchen counters and cabinets. Think about keeping your counter tops clear of all items, including photos, papers and even appliances, to make it seem like the room is larger than it truly is. Brighten the walls. Sellers should consider making the tone of the wall color in the kitchen brighter. Lighter colors tend to open up a room. They are also much more inviting, enticing potential buyers.
