Then there were two . . .

Last week was rainy and overcast but it didn’t stop me from sighting some new calves at a farm I pass. Needless to say my thoughts were, “How can I get a picture?” I just couldn’t get close enough to them . . . and it rained all week! Each morning I’d turn into a parking lot next to the farm, but the animals were either too far away or the rain was too hard.

Thursday morning was overcast but clear when I turned into the parking lot once again. Right before my eyes was Mom and her twin calves! I had the joy of seeing my very first calf stand on its own. What a thrill! For 25 minutes I watched one calf wobbling around, then the second calf stood up and wobbled too! They sure weren’t pretty from all the rain and mud, but in my eyes they were beautiful!

I’ve never taken so many pictures of one event. It was a red letter morning for me. And, with a little careful maneuvering, I changed my course to work and even made it there on time! Give me an extra 15 minutes any day to have the opportunity to stop and capture a “serendipity find” in my travels.

This spring I’ve had baby leaves, newborn goslings and twin calves. I can’t wait to see what treasure God will provide next!
