After church Sunday we were asked if we were missing cows. Why yes, they are next door, again! UGH, we fix one hole only for them to find another!! But we were told, no they are not next door, some how they got out of the neighbors pasture onto a dirt road behind that pasture. Oh Boy !How did they get way out there!!! At least the donkeys didn't get out of the neighbors pasture! THANK GOD for good neighbors who saw the cows and ran them to their place for safe keeping. Elmer and Kenneth went down there to talk to them and they said to leave them for now until after Christmas. They are safe and when it's all settled they will bring them home.
Kenneth and I fixed the new open spot in our fencing they got out from. He said we should take up quilting lol. I asked why? He said we are good at patching fences, making quilts should be easy HA. We got the donkeys home and they didn't get out again so when our neighbor called to tell us they have the cows loaded and ready...we were satisfied they wont get out. They drove up and unloaded them saying how sweet and gentle our cows were. What a relief they are home and safe and hopefully unable to get out again. So far they have not gotten out.
When we were gathering the donkeys to move them back home, Sadie spotted a fox!! She went after it and was gone quite a while. We headed back home and figured she will to when she was ready. We were half way back when we spotted Sadie running to catchup with us. She usually stays close by me when Im out there but a fox is way too tempting!! . Kenneth said, Poor baby, you are tired and scooped her up and carried her the rest the way back to the barn LOL. Sadies face was confused LOL. Life on a homestead is never without their challenges. But if we face them with a good attitude then they wont weigh us down. This time of years offers enough down time to plan for spring. So Elmer and I plan. We plan with him in it, because we have to believe he will be.
