Me?
I associate this festive song with calving. I can't wait to start humming it. Just like a kid with presents under the tree, I peer at the mums-to-be each time I pass them.
This year it was this morning. I got the phone call I had been waiting for since Valentine's Day.
"Mile Corner. Jory spotted her. He's sending you a picture ..."
And look who had shown up!
This is my sparkle and cheer time of year and is far more exciting to me than unwrapping presents. Each calf is a unique gift. And after a particularly long, difficult winter, what a beautiful way to start off the season! What should we name it?! The first baby of the year has to get named ...
and there could be a prize involved!
Here are some "Mum and Me" snaps from last year.
There is nothing that whispers hope more sweetly.
And isn't that what the most wonderful time of the year is all about?
