How my dear friend you do all of that work in one morning is beyond me. I just think I have it rough til I come by here to see what you are up too.<br />Do you ever rest? Glad you went out for the evening and had a good time. Of course I would of not made it because a day like yours I would not be able to go anywhere.<br />I am so excited I finally bought a new laptop today. So I had to come by and check on you and to say hello. I have thought of you so often and even tried leaving you comments with my other computer but I don't think any of them went through.<br />Now I will have to see if I can do a post a get back to blogging. Winter time should give me more time to do it.<br />Stay warm and dry<br />Love looking at all your calves. Your rug picture did not load.

Your such a inspiration to me hearing of your 'one day in the life & times of Julia'! Your an amazing woman & I'm glad I can see just how one person can make such a difference by their actions. I hope to continue to entertain you with my life and the days that unfold for me. I do feel more distant when I'm not in NB & it's becoming harder to enjoy the pace of SW Ontario. Do listen to your body & rest when it's need, even if it means longer lunches! I look forward to seeing your rug come to life! And I loved the pics of the baby calves, they're so much work though!<br />Do take care, so many depend on you Julia!

I am so glad you got that calf and finally go the mother to stand. I love those new girls and I love the names you named them. They are just beautiful. I am so impressed you could go out and put on your dancing shoes. You are so cute. <br />I hope you can slow down but if it is calving season, I really doubt it.<br />I love you color you dyed this week. That is a beautiful color of brown. <br />I bet you will be glad to start a hooking project if you can keep a wake. You work so hard. <br />Bye for now.<br />KimFarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-36175377955154939902014-11-09T17:25:49.841-04:002014-11-09T17:25:49.841-04:00Oh, Julia, my heart goes out to you!
