This week old Hereford calf, who came about two weeks early, was the first calf of the season and at least it was a warm, sunny day when it was born with no snowflakes either.

As May arrived, so did the first calves of the season. This one was enjoying an afternoon nap until I interrupted his sleep.

These kittens are not to sure what to make of the calf, who towered over them, so they scrambled to hide behind the gates.

A week can make a big difference as last week the calves were surrounded by yellow dandelions but now pasture is filled with white dandelion seeds which take flight when the wind blows.

A calf in the May sunny pasture doesn’t know that she or he could be watching a lot of people wandering pass in July if it was selected to go to the fair. And I don’t know who would be more curious about the other.

On this day, mothers received a variety of gifts or gestures from their children to celebrate Mother’s Day. They may have received flowers (including dandelions) or just a hug. Even this calf gives her mother a snuggle as the cow gives her baby a bath.

You never know when an extra critter might show up in the house, like my tree frog hitching a ride inside from the flower pot, but today the extra critter was found on the porch at the farm. And on this cold March day, the calf was enjoying the warm sunshine through the window inside as he waited for a helping hand from my mom with a bottle of milk. Sometimes the extra ‘guest’ may be in the bathroom, the tub or sink, getting thawed out on cold winter day.

The little calf was giving her mommy some face nuzzling while the mother was trying to eat grass.
