Cow and Deer
2 more days to the Cow Wranglin',....
My friend FiFi (Jessica) is coming over on Sun to help me catch the cow. We plan to put a halter and a looooong rope on her so on Mon, when Maria gets here with the trailer, it should be a simple (!) matter of passing the rope around a strong support in the trailer, and pulling her in. Then it's off the the butcher's.
I am still tring to get some ace, a few darts, a blowgun, and a hacksaw. No, it's not an episode of Pinky and the Brain, and we don't plan to take over the world, this week. I want to take the antlers off the bucks. They are stripping off the velvet, and will soon become very agressive. The former owner told me that a few years ago, Dick, the oldest buck, went into a rage and trapped one of the does in a corner and gored her to death. Plus, during rut, they have no fear or respect for anything. A true case of testosterone poinoning,... I really don't want to be gored,... Already, when feeding them, the bucks are less cautious. It's been recommended by reputable deer ranchers.
So, we are looking at a fun time for all,....
The garden tractor arrived today! YAY! But before I could gas it up and go, the afternoon rains rolled in, BOO!
Well, there's always Saturday for mowin',....
I am off to feed the deer,......... If I'm not back in 30 min, send in reinforcements!
Later,
Cheri'

Hello, Loved Ones,
This is your Arizona Aunt stopping by to say hello and give you a great big pat on the back. Bless your hearts! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, and that it will repay for all your efforts. Hope you are enjoying being country folk, and that you will be able to find a contractor soon so that the necessary library can become a reality. My boxed up books cried...I could hear them...until they found a home on the new shelves! The horses are beautiful, and the deer sound dear. Hope we can get down to see you before too long.
Love,
Kris
