JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE COUNTRY

Why did the cow cross the road?
Maybe it was the heat!


Was coming home from work yet again and this time, there was a person standing at a blind curve warning people about this ahead of them.  A cow, exploring life outside the fence.  I asked the man who was warning people (kudos to him for doing that by the way) and he said he had already called the owner and they were coming to guide the wayward cow back home.


It's hot.  We are, for the first time this Summer, under an extreme heat warning this weekend.  Debating whether or not to mow/edge this weekend.  It's been three weekends now. It's tall but not crazy since we haven't had rain.  We'd be ok if it turned beige, ha.

Stay cool wherever you are!

    Do you know if the black angus had her calf ... surely by now that calf is pestering its Mom all day long!

  2. Our cows remember where they got out if one gets out, they go back through the fence and you need to fix it right away or she will show all the cows about the place in the fence. So good that someone was warning you to drive careful. People run through our fence at night sometimes and do not tell us, just leave. We might find the whole herd out when another person knocks on the door to tell us the cows are out.

  3. Isn't it fun living in the country ? I grew up on a farm where our pink pigs got out of their pens constantly to root up our front yard,,,,we all learned how to "pig push" back to the barn! And will give them some credit, we always had a beautiful front yard!
    Country living is a challege, but great fun too!

  4. My parents eventually gave up their dairy herd but for years after we could get Dad out of a nap and running for the door by yelling "Dad, the cows are out". Much giggling. I'm tempted to have one last try, he is 100 now but I bet it would still work.

  5. This never happens in the suburbs, though neighbors get very upset when a dog is roaming the streets.
