We found we needed to do some work on an area
Our neighbor still has cows (and calves 🙂 ) on her place…they have a tendency to lean
on fences.
You know the rest of the story.

I had to take a photo just for you! So you can see this naughty girl. She is always and constantly OUT!!!
Sigh!!!
Of course, she jumped the fence, got her hoof caught in it, so we had to rebuild it.
Two more weeks, Terry thinks, and the food will be gone. Then these girls will go on to something else.

Hard winter is now upon us
Although the snow is mostly gone
The ground is frozen solid [therefore, no mud :)}
Still, joys are abounding —COWS!!! Cows are neither silent or still, they talk to each other, move about trying out this field or that. Eating weeds, and grasses and breaking up and stomping on hard big weeds.
Looking for big clumps of cheat grass. (Cheat grass is green and lush and yummy, year round!)
Cows!
Moving, eating (even at night)
Rippling pretty past us bringing happiness to them, us, and the rancher!

It’s always fun to watch the cowboys at work. Pretty cool!

Three cows from the neighbor across the way showed up!
We corraled them until the owner could come in the morning.
Cows! Gota Love ’em!
“The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others’ burdens, easing others’ loads, and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of the holidays.”– W.C. Jones
Merry Christmas Eve!!
From our hearts to your world,
Terry and Linda
In the canal
Out of the canal.
All day long it goes…
In/Out, In/Out

That wonderful force pulling your heart
Spilling life into eternity
God always gives us Home, if you just listen.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
There is always—-and I do mean ALWAYS!
One.
But in this case (this year) There are TWO!
So annoying!
These two walk over the fences like the fences aren’t even there!
At least twice a day!
Such a pain!
I looked back, as Terry and I were pushing the cows back into the field and saw TLC helping us.
What a cat!
WHAT NAUGHTY COWS!

Glory B and T’Ata are free to roam the farm daily.
Come evening, one of us meets them at the back gate and
takes them into the corrals and the barn for their meal.
The cows don’t mind sharing.
Nor do they have trouble with the horses whispering secrets
To each other
Everyone content
Living here off the land.

Today we are in the shift…from the longest night of the year, where darkness drags on and on
Where shadows grow long early in the day
and swirl heavily into the evening
But gradually, ever so slowly, the daylight hours will stretch
(Coyote visiting our yard 😦 )
And the night time minutes grow shorter and shorter
Sunlight will stretch a few seconds longer and longer each and every day
Until the seconds become minutes
Then the minutes will become an hour
At which time we reach Daylight Saving time, where we have a full hour added to our daily Sunlight
But even though the days grow longer,
For two full months, January and February
The days will grow colder and colder
Hopefully with moisture
Called snow.
