A reason to laugh
It seems like I have not had much in my life as of late to make me laugh. But this week we stood on my porch and watched an event that had me laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. The farm next door has a number of pastures and they move different sets of cows around occasionally. Apparently this week it was moving day for the cows that have been across the street to the pasture next to my house. Well, it did not go really smoothly. The cows decided they weren't in the mood and decided to go in all directions causing bedlam to break loose. The cows were running back and forth across the road, Have you ever seen a huge cow run? There were three farmhands with big sticks running around to try to herd the cows in the direction they wanted. That did not work out so well. The farmhands ran right and the cows ran left. Then the farmhands ran in a circle to the left and the cows ran backwards to the right. There were cars stopped on both sides of the road because some of the larger, older cows decided to stroll up and down the road. Three of the youngsters managed to get up into my driveway. I literally stood on my porch staring down at three young bulls, they were just babies when I moved in here. Here comes a farmhand on a tractor chasing them and they ran in three different directions. They sure gave him a run for his money. All the cows got eventually rounded up into the pasture next to me so we had a happy ending but it sure was fun watching this comedy while it unraveled. Hope those farmhands got a pay raise!
