Driving Miss Daisy

Miaya waiting for her bottle calf
No we aren't in Alabama we are on a stretch of highway 34 driving our Miss Daisy to our house. No it's not Jessica Tandy. It's our little heifer that Miaya named Daisy.. Doesn't look like a daisy all white and yellow...she's as close to a chocolate mocha as you can get! Michael decided after attempting to get the calf to nurse that now indeed Miaya has a bottle calf.....let's change that a little bit....Kim has a bottle calf! We took our little Ford tractor (came with the place) down to the pasture to pick up Miss Daisy for her first outing. We used the crate that Dave Reisinger had made to carry the Christmas trees up to the garage when the customers picked them out. Yes we live on an old Christmas tree farm....thought we struck gold when we found this place...we just love it!  But one draw back.....no more Christmas trees...so we still buy our Christmas trees, but we do have some beautiful walnut trees that Dave actually planted and raised from seed...well really from walnut.

Your car is ready Miss Daisy...hop in....yeah right..


Rounding the corner off of Hwy 34 to our place
So anyway getting back to our Miss Daisy...she is having a gay old time in amongst the walnut trees...she has high standards and demands two bottles a day...no not of Dom Perignon but Red Star milk replacer. She insists on being pampered and has a valet of Petie the dog. He always follows us down to her exclusive jungle room and watches as she is hand fed the best that we can give her. Thank goodness she hasn't requested a food taster yet!
