It was quite a ruckus around here last night. All through the evening, I kept hearing the cowdog, Buddy, barking off and on. I would look out the windows, but didn't see anything. I figured that it is deer hunters out spot lighting deer which is something that goes on around these parts of the country.

But... in the middle of the night, I heard hoofs running through the yard. My first thought was that a herd of wild horses had shown up which sometimes happens. So, I got my flashlight and in my pajamas... I went outside to find what critters were invading my yard. I saw some black forms moving across the lawn and then these white eyes staring back at me. By then, I figured out that some stray cows had wandered in and were thinking about grazing on my beautiful lawn. I can't say as I blame them because the feed around here is mostly dry at this time of year.

Soooo... with a "ja" or two and a few "shoos", I ran them out the front gate and then made my way back to bed. Since, I've been having trouble sleeping, this chasing cattle in the middle of the night didn't help my situation. The end of this tail is that I finally feel asleep around 5am. Groan!!!!
