Clearly now an expert in dealing with livestock, I can manage Lucy and Molly without problems. Not sure how I will cope with the cow and new calf which are due on the paddock this week to eat the greenery which the others won’t touch. However had a chance to try out my cowboy skills yesterday when Linda and I were cycling to the pub for lunch and came upon a neighbour on foot trying to corral three mares which had got loose. Donning my Stetson (always to hand in case of just such an incident) I spurred my trusty steed into action and chased said mares along the road for about a mile until I could get past them, stop them and drive them back to their grateful owner – and not a lasso in sight. Felt like I had earned my pint when we finally got to the pub!
Talking of wildlife, I was sitting with my early morning cuppa yesterday when I noticed movement on the paddock and discovered that we now have a hare to help keep the greenery under control. He stayed for some time having his breakfast while the blackbirds kept him company.
Hope he doesn’t come back for the lettuces & tomatoes when they finally sprout!

"There was an old woman who swallowed a fly" springs to mind. Can we run a book on how big your menagerie will get before you wish that you'd bought a sit-on lawnmower in the first place? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe sit-on mower wouldn't generate any fertilizer for the veg patch.
