There are a lot of things a farmer's wife has to adjust to in life. One of those things is getting called out of bed at approximately 5:45 in the morning to help chase heifers back into the barn where they belong. Yes, that's right. While we were sleeping the heifers sneaked out and went to the mooovies. :>) About 15 of those bovine beauties were out roaming around the farm during the night. So, the farmer calls the wife to come and please help chase them back in where they belong. Sure, I wasn't really sleeping anyway so I might as well go out and get some exercise, right? While I was in the middle of a 50 yard dash, the farmer almost lost his help because he called out, "Remember your past 40!" Well!.., he was the one walking around with a cane, not me.... (I know, the cane is for chasing the heifers with..... :>) Remember in an earlier blog I said that the only exciting thing that happens to a heifer is feeding time? Maybe I was wrong!

Sitting here laughing about your cows going to the mooovies! What are you doing out there chasing those cow! Remember your past 40! Just kidding. ♥
All I can think of was the time you ran to chase the cows when I was there as a teenager and you were barefooted...you slid and hit....well...hard. LOL. You had an audience of visiters that night to top it off. I just had to share that....Loved that night!
