Edited to add - also glad the medical details were not too much. I thought about giving a warning, but the farm kids across the road deal with these details from the time they're very young, so left it out. I'm trying to show the realities of farm life, and these things happen and need to be dealt with.
You have described a pleasant morning on the farm with gentle clarity. I really enjoyed reading about leaving the lemonade in the stream to cool. Oh! That brought back many sweet memories. Hmmm, what are Lois and Clark having for lunch? Corrina, so much of this has been taken from experience and we are the richer for it.
My husband was raised on a farm and we used to spend days like this when we were courting. Animals get injured in many ways, if the farmer called the local Vet for every scrap or wound nothing would ever get done. Usually for my in-laws that happened only when there was a difficult calving. Farmers, as you are no doubt aware learn to do as much as possible without outside help.
