The end of an era

It is with deep sorrow that I announce the loss of a good friend today.  As a member of the Navy...the Old Navy...this friend has been with me through thick and thin; cold and warm; sweat and ... probably manure.

It all started out innocently enough.  I went out to the barn to do chores as usual with my good friend.  At a balmy 6 degrees, you would think that I would have noticed when he... passed.  However, I kept on about my duties so unaware of this great tragedy.  Upon returning to the house to celebrate our morning accomplishments...this is what I discovered

Now, how does one not notice such a thing in 6 degree weather?  This is how...

That there...is loooooong underwear folks.  And this is precisely the reason God created long underwear!  Six measly degrees is no match for my new-toasty-red long underwear.

Alas, I am a fickle friend and I have already moved on from the loss.  Please welcome Maurice...the newest member of my team.

And this is all part of....Life on the Farm!
