Goodness Gracious! UPDATED

Last night.

Goodness Gracious!

Last night.

So...

Sir loves to play.

Who Meeeee?

Yes, YOU.

At some point yesterday he tipped over

their rubbermaid water trough.

Poor Mooooon, she doesn't think it is funny.

I fed them their grain

and while they were pre-occupied,

re-filled their trough.

Then headed back to the barn to finish

my other farm chores.

Glanced up.

Sir was high-tailing (literally - he flags his tail

when he runs) it across the pasture.

Straight back to his water trough.

I figured he was thirsty.

Nope.

Ran over.

Flipped it.

Walked back to his feed bucket.

REALLY??????????

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I put some hay in the trailer

knowing he would hop in there

and wouldn't see me.

Fixed the trough,

refilled it and stood guard

while poor Moooooon  got a good

long drink.

(Meanwhile, there is a nice big mud puddle

now where he dumped the water.

Naturally Roxie hit it like the mud magnet she is...)

Then Roxie hopped in the trough.

(She LOVES the water.)

Splashed around a little and then 

hopped out, soaking wet.

Looked for a good place to roll

to dry off - aaaaah, HERE is the perfect spot!

You guessed it.

(Probably)

Yup, right on top of a fresh-ish cow patty.

Sigh.

She is clean.

The trough is full.

The cows are being delivered TOMORROW.

I am counting the minutes.

Kind of.

UPDATE!

The butcher is going to be out of town this weekend.
So the BIG EVENT is being pushed off until next weekend.
I'll be out of town.

FURTHER UPDATE!

Doug - the man Kyle has worked with for, for the
past 5 years was out in his pasture this morning,
making sure everything was ready for his youngest
daughter's wedding reception tomorrow evening.
Didn't feel well.  Went inside to lay down.
Never woke up.

Such terrible, sad sad news.
