Silly Silly Sir

It was kind of a crazy couple of minutes

right when I got home from work yesterday.

I drove into my driveway.

Glanced up and noticed Sir Loin

standing in his pasture next to 

the big hay pile.

Hi Sir!

Got out of my truck to open the gate

and noticed a kid that looked a LOT

like Kyle wandering around in Brock's

cow pasture next door.

Except I knew it wasn't Kyle

because I was currently texting him

and he was at work.

So as I pulled into the yard, I kind

of had my eye on him.

Noticed both their big swing gates

were open.

(They usually only open one of them

except on Thursdays when a bunch

of city people come by... lol)

Parked my truck and got out.

The kid was walking around in the pasture

looking at the ground like he lost something.

I started walking toward the back

when I heard a loud crack like a rifle.

Brock's cows took off and so did the kid!

The kid ran to the end of the pasture,

hopped the fence and got into a 

blue pickup driven by somebody else,

they sat there for a moment and then

drove down the driveway.

Brock's truck was there, so I wasn't TOO

worried, it was just a little strange.

About that time I glanced over my 

shoulder to the front of our property and

there was a big white semi turning into 

MY driveway!

NO!!!!

(We have a pretty skinny driveway, and although

ROD can get his semi down it, it's a challenge

what with our electricity wires hanging a little low

across it - requires fancy driving and a long pole.)

So I started up that way to have a word

with the driver.  He was actually looking for 

Brock's place, which is probably why both

gates were open.

I got him headed in the correct direction

and headed back to my pasture,

when I looked through the barn and noticed

Sir was now in the HORSE pasture right behind

the chicken yard.

(We keep the gate closed on that pasture

during the day and only let the horses in there

at night so they don't over graze it.)

WHAT?????

Meanwhile, I glanced back into Brock's

cow pasture where the cows were all settled 

down again, but there was a LARGE hawk

standing on the ground about where the kid

was originally.

Weird!

So...

back to figuring out what was going on with Sir.

Moon Pie was on the correct side.

Sir Loin was on the WRONG side.

And there was a big ol' hole in our fence.

(You can't see it, but there is a strand of barbed wire

just below the fence rail - if you look close you can

see many many strands of Buddy's hair hanging off the

barbs - cuz he's a doof.)

THIS is supposed to be part of our fence!

And YOU, yes YOU broke it!

Speaking of doofs!

I put the horses in their stalls with their feed

so I didn't have to worry about them.

Closed all the gates and was getting

ready to get a bucket of feed to lead

Sir out of the "green pasture" across the

"dirt pasture" and into the "cow pasture".

My neighbor Kris and her dog Dixie

were across the pasture in her yard

watching the fun.

When about that time,

Sir just hopped back over the wire.

Sigh.

Meanwhile,

Rod pulled into the yard,

so we put up a replacement board

and finished our regular chores.

Because the Elders were coming for dinner!

And I hadn't even been IN the house yet!

LOL

Dinner was really delicious chili.

Chili can take HOURS to simmer on the stove.

But if you have a pressure cooker,

you can go from fixing a fence

to serving dinner in about 30 minutes!

SCORE!
