Oh, These Cows

Dale has headed back to the field which means Bryce and I are enjoying some alone time at home. It's nice to be able to run around outside in the evenings and not have to fix supper or fight over the TV (only when the Biggest Loser and Jon & Kate are on)!! But you can bet that I will be blogging soon enough how we miss having Daddy at home!!

So last night after we got home from our walk I fixed myself something to eat and relaxed in the chair to watch the Biggest Loser...when I was cleaning up the kitchen I looked out the window to find a cow in the driveway. Great...again, they had already mastered crossing the cattle guard Monday morning. Dale must have fed at lunch and forgot to put the wire back across the cattle guard, so I looked out the bedroom window and saw 3 cows and 3 calves in my backyard. I called Dale, because I freak out about these things, and he said he had no problem getting them back in Monday morning just shaking a bucket. So I ran outside thinking it would be easy...wrong, they didn't care that I was there, they were eating the greener grass on the other side.

I couldn't get a hold of Dale again, so I called my dad and brother and they came to help me. I had to haul Bryce around with me (good thing it was warm outside)...it was 7:30ish and getting dark so I was really starting to freak out. Finally Dale was headed in our direction to help out. They ran away from us once, but followed the truck and made it back into the pasture. We put the wire back across the cattle guard. Awww....I was glad that was over with.

Oh, but wait....2 cows were determined to tear my yard up once more and either jumped or stumbled through the wire we put up and were in the yard again this morning. I guess we are gong to have to put up a pipe gate to keep them were they are supposed to be!! Until we can get that done, Dale's truck is parked blocking the cattle guard so the cows will have to stay where they are....for now at least!

A little bit hillbilly!!

The cows....where they are supposed to be!

Evidence they were in my yard!

The worse part....I missed about an hours worth of the Biggest Loser, someone is going to have to fill me in...I just need to know who ate cookies and who won the marathon????
