morning chores

the neighbor called this morning to let us know that another neighbor's cows had gotten out of their pasture and were on the road heading to god-knows-where. dad and i jumped in the pickup and cruised over to track down the escapees. using a piece of garden art (a giant pinwheel), a push broom, and a lot of arm waving and yelling, we faced down the trio of 1200 lb. beasts and got them back safely home. just another day on the ol' homestead.
