Kittens, calf & computer


Mother Cat decided to move the kittens. It is always so amazing how animals protect their young.


Remember the time when we were kids and out in the corral and we all decided to go over to see the new born calf. The mother wasn't one of our pet cows, it was the Jersey, if I remember correctly--the onrey one- and she was hovering over her baby. As we closed in, all of a sudden she started pawing the ground, put her head down and began snorting. Then she made short charges at us, kinda circling her calf. It didn't take us bright little kids long to figure out to high tail it out of there. As I was going over the fence I looked back. All of us had not left. There was Mary standing staring at the cow who was now making bellowing threats and with head lowered making straight for little sister. In that same instant Victor appeared, janked Mary up and both took off and flew over the fence. We didn't mess with her calf again. Quite unfair as we just wanted to pet it!


The rains never came last night. Apparently I must have heard wrong. The paper says they will be here Sunday...so good....that means Sunday is a day of rest. Tomorrow the dump is opened, so will be mowing. Got a call to work a home care assignment first thing in the am, so as soon as I get home its pedal to the metal and get it done!!!


Spent the whole evening trapped into trying to get a virus buster on the upstairs computer. There appears to be a file missing on the computer so that nothing can download. I can't believe there are people that actually love doing this computer tech stuff!!! Kathleen and Andy will be back on Monday....maybe, just maybe I can get them to figure this out.
