Things to do while convalescing in the country...Friday & Saturday...

Friday the first two calves were born. Since I was still convalescing, I ended up doing what every sick person does to feel better...go help Dad process calves! (For those of you who don't know my Dad's methodologies or lingo, that means he writes down their vital statistics such as weight, gave them a shot and puts a tag in their ear.)

I got a few pictures of the babies earlier in the day. Here's one...

Saturday I was finally starting to feel okay. Still dealing with the nasty sinus infection, but at least I was functional again!

So, what does one do while convalescing in the country near the end of that convalescence? Help Mom with yard work, of course!!

While she mowed the lawn, I trimmed some bushes. All these branches came off a couple bushes at the front of the house...

This is what they looked like when I was done chopping off branches, but before I did the pruning to give them better shape...

Sunday we took it easy. Mom and I went to church and then watched some TV. I left in the afternoon. Convalescing sure can keep a person busy! :p
