30 degrees

Wow, 30 degrees must be global warming now that the milk cow is here....  lol  We bought her Saturday and hauled her home.  She is not impressed to say the least.  My thought was that she would buddy up on the fence with the range cows that are here in the meadows but they wanted nothing to do with her and I don't think she wanted anything to do with them.  She really does not like the butcher pig Grumpy.  I don't want to put her out in the meadows with the range cattle so kept her in the sorting  corrals all in all it is about a 2 acre piece.  Yikes!  She just ran and worried herself for 3 days and since she is bred the stress is not good.  This morning I put her in the small corral next to the barn where I kept the colt at night.  OK, this is much better.  She settle down long enough to drink and eat.  I have left the stall open and put feed in there in hopes she would find the comforts of home.  She was eating her grain but that was about it.  She is now eating her hay also and took a big long drink of water.  She feels better now and so do I!  Her name was Lily but I changed it to Bess.  My grandfather had a nice dairy cow named Bess.  I had a JRT until she passed away last year at 16 and her name was Lily.  In my life there is only one Lily and she has gone to chase rodents and take naps in the sun.

Yesterday I finished the long leg of the fence at the Riverside house, aka Dad's house.  There is a picture of the house when we first started working on it in another entry.  I worked from sun up to sun down.  I only have one more leg and it will be finished.  It looks so nice.  Next to work on the plumbing.  I know it seems like a strange time to do plumbing but with haying starting in May and ending in October days and nights are long.  I am sure that is where the saying came from, "Making hay while the sun shines" 

Well off to work my weekend is over.
