Cow Report and a new Finished Project

Happy to say The Farmer came to re-claim his herd.

It was after six o'clock and pitch black out before they began to arrive.  Pick up truck after pick up truck.

In all, there must have been five or six trucks so there was plenty of help.

All the while Neighbor Nick had stood guard so those wandering cows wouldn't escape the backyard to scatter all over the neighborhood.
Nick there with cell in hand,
them, glaring at him for their confinement.

The Farmer and helpers set up a pipe rail fence across the backyard entry from Nick's garage to our fence.
They, then, proceeded to construct a chute from the backyard to a hastily built coral on Nick's driveway.

Those errant cows were kept in the make-shift coral until all were taken two-by-two back to the farm.

It was past eight o'clock before the last of them left.

How ya gonna keep 'em on the farm
once they've seen - - - - -

  2. I love the striped shawl and have been marvelling at how many knits you've already produced this year! I'm a big fan of bright red and it looks great with the grey.
