When all things come together just right.....

4/3/2014

That term is generally used to describe a great set of events, right.  You know, like finishing a project on time, maybe even ahead of schedule, and it turns out better than expected.  Well, this post is taking place at 1:30 am.  I am generally in bed asleep, finishing off the night's sleep before I get up for the morning chores.  Today, however, all things came together just right for half of our herd to take a romp.......

Dogs!  We love ours.  They are loyal and quick to let us know of anything milling around outside the house.  This marks the second time that our girl, Reese, has alerted us that the herd was walk-a-bout.  This time, I ran to the back window, opened it up, listened for a minute, heard/saw nothing, and told her to go back to bed.  Upon returning to my own bed I heard the faint mooooo of a cow in the front.  On my way down the steps I may have remembered to thank her, but upon my return now I surely have.  All things happened to come together for the cows to escape the barn and mill around.  I am not sure how far they went, but I am certain that some of them made the street in front of the house.  They had managed to knock over a feed panel letting them into the manger.  Then they opened the half-hooked gate left from yesterday's feeding.  I would like to blame it on the 5 year old in the family, but that would not be fair.  Ethan, the 2 year old, is in charge of the gates, and I am supposed to be checking them.  Well, I guess we both dropped the ball on that one.  Anyhow, upon opening the gate it was off to the races.  Big ones, little ones, moms, sons, daughters.......they were gone.  They returned rather easily to hay and some gentle calling.  After counting them twice to ensure all 36 were returned, all gates have been returned to their rightful place and the cows should be returning to their naps, as will I. 

GOOD MORNING!
