Eppie has arrived!

My sister-in-law bought a pregnant cow last summer, and few weeks ago the cow gave birth.  Unfortunately, we were not there in time to witness the actual birth, but we dropped our schoolwork as soon as we heard and raced over......just in time to see the calf all dark and wet and being licked (and licked, and licked, and licked.....) by Mama.  The calf was named Eppie.  (Yes, from Silas Marner if you recognize the name.)
