The first roses and an update

It's a struggle

to grow roses at this high desert location.  

And it's a struggle for little calves who are abandoned by their mothers.  
April has tried to adopt the little orphan but she only has enough milk for her own calf, a little bull calf. 

In the meantime April provides security.
 My little charge comes running when she sees me
 (or the big milk bottle I'm carrying).  

She lives not far from my house.
  

And she has a brother who was born a day later.  

So, all is well.  

A few of my roses made it through the winter and my little calf is thriving.  


Have a great week ahead dear friends.
