I’m supposed to be going to sleep BUT I wanted to update you a bit.

DD2 is back to herself and has finished her antibiotic.

Preschool went well this week for DS and DD2. DS has already memorized his first bible verse and it is beyond cute to hear him say “Genesisis.”

Dad’s pathology came back yesterday... NO CANCER! Dr said it was a direct answer to prayer! He’s still in some pain and hasn’t done much other than the basics. I keep reminding him that he had an organ removed and he’s not going to be himself in just two weeks. (Men! )

In other news, we moved the cow herd to the front pasture tonight. Pretty uneventful. Our cows are tame enough that we lead them with a bucket instead of chasing/herding them. DH took the bucket and I followed the rear just in case of stragglers. A few that hadn’t made the trip before started to wander but fell back in line quickly. Kids and my parents watched from the deck.

I was washing eggs today and took this pic of a huge green egg! I set a regular egg next to it for size reference. Poor chicken!

I think BUCKETS are the invention of the centuries for stock handling.

Ya'll got kinda odd ways to park a vehicle up there.

My problem isn't leading them to lead with a bucket.......the problem is keeping from getting run over.
(never try to cross a pasture to the pond with a minnow bucket in your hand!)

That mobbing is one of the reasons I like sheep. They will circle the bucket and keep moving as long as it moves.

Have to be very careful with buckets!!!

The vehicle, a piece of hay ring, and the open gate closed off our opening. Redneck, I know. There isn’t a fence connecting the two pastures and a gate can’t be placed directly across from the other due to a steep incline in the main pasture that the cows were in. The barnyard was wide open, along with areas to the hayfield and being able to go all the way around the house.

The group shown in the pic is the “stragglers.” We moved 16. The others were well in the pen and eating their share of the feed already.

That big egg will be a double yolker. Whenever I get eggs that size they always are. Nice looking cows.
Congrats on your Dads good news. Im sure you all are relieved! Hope the pain goes away and he feels better soon. Glad to see DD2 is also doing better.
