Bad Cows Revisited


I wanted to share another past post and one of my favorite memories.
I wrote this December 2011 and makes me laugh thinking back to when this happened. 
hope you get a giggle too.


Bad Cows

The " man of the place" decided that since our pasture are being grazed down and he is trying to stretch as much out of them as he can before we have to start putting out hay. He figure that for one last time  he was going to let them graze our house yard. Now this is not the first time and I had put up with his idea of  mowing. (past post) 
 That time it was just a few of the older cows, they are slow and not so curious. But this time it was the first time mothers (2yrs old)


Like last time I can put up with the spots of natural fertilizer, that goes away with rain and snow.

I will barely tolerate them pruning my monkey grass. It was looking good and would of all winter, but I tell myself it will grow back.


Then there is that phrase "they are worse than kids", well that is what young heifers are. Kids at least most of the time listen and are not 1200 lbs. of stubbornness.
This one found the broom on the porch and started eating it. I don't know how many times I had to take it away.

Then while in the sewing room I heard this terrible thud. Not sure what it was, I went outside to see what and this is what I found. The post on the front porch is just there laying. One of them knock it down. Luckily no damage to the house, just the post. Wait till "the man of the place" see this.

So I look around and as you can see one of the heifers is just looking so innocent, like saying "WHAT HAPPENED".
Ya right, can't fool me.
Now if this doesn't changes "the man of the place" mind about letting them graze the house yard, I know what will.
You see they are worst than kids, they just don't listen.

Till next time
Kat

    Thank you for the giggles. Though I'm sure you weren't amused at the time.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
