I thought I heard a cow mooing when I was pretty much asleep at about 2:30ish this morning. Then, I thought it sounded like she was closer. I kept telling myself that I was just dreaming. Then, I clearly heard her right at the corner of our house at three o'clock this morning. I'm sure of this because I got up and looked out my bedroom window and saw her ambling along there. So, I went to the front door, turned on the lights, and looked out. There was a whole herd right there in our front yard and field. So, I called Mike's nephew, Jay, and he said he was on his way to get them. I don't have pictures because me in a T-shirt and rubber boots carrying a flashlight at three in the morning is not a pretty sight. I herded them back toward the barn and came into the house when I heard a truck start up back at Jay's house.
Then, this morning I glanced out the window when it was about mid-morning and I was working on changing out a load of laundry and there were these guys ambling across the front yard.
I tried to get a shot of them looking out the front door but kept getting a glare from the sun off the storm door. So, the photo above is after they had eased across the creek/ditch and were headed toward my father-in-law's turnip green patch.
They traipsed right across there and up to the fence. I thought they were going to go up to visit my in-laws but I guess they didn't have on their Sunday best and decided to just cross over the fence and circle back to the barn.
Then, one-by-one, they hopped up on the fence - well the last one didn't, he shimmied under it. And they strolled across the road and strutted up toward the barn.
I love living in the country!
