July Delights!

Posted on July 31, 2025 by lifewiththecows
Here is my first calf for 2025! She is a Longhorn Brangus cross and is showing signs of her mother’s brindle coat. She is very spry and curious and loves to take long naps in the shade with her aunts and uncles who are on guard for predators.

Coyotes are the most common predator for the calves at this young age. Longhorn cattle are excellent watch “dogs” since it is their instinct to protect the herd.

A Rare Sighting!

Posted on July 20, 2025 by lifewiththecows
In July the bluebells are always putting on a show! Their vibrant blues shimmer in otherwise dry pastures. Their pedals provide much needed moisture for tiny tree frogs and bees. This one is a rare albino bluebell! It markedly stands out amid the soft blues in the field…alone…but still providing much needed protection!

A Prayer

Posted on July 12, 2025 by lifewiththecows

Dear Heavenly Father,

I pray that You wrap Your loving arms around all of the families that have lost their beautiful children, those who lost their Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts or Uncles in this Flash Flood Event in the Texas Hill Country.

I pray for all of the First Responders, Rescuers, and Helpers who have been working around the clock to look for those who are missing. Please guide their eyes and ears and strong arms to those who were swept away by this unheralded flood.

May everyone feel Your Presence as we all go through this difficult time. You are with us and You are Carrying us forward until we are Reunited with You in Heaven.

I pray this prayer in Your Son Jesus’ name,

Amen
