At 815 pm last night I got a text from my neighbor next to the farm. My cows had jumped the fence and were headed west. I jumped in the car and drove over (10 miles). Fortunately I have been giving them a carrot or apple every day, so when I got there, they turned around and walked the quarter mile back to their pen. 10 minutes later I had the two big bovines in but the calf couldn't figure out how to walk through the open gate. 40 minutes, a lot of explicit language, a much less than helpful horse, and a few more escape attempts by the cow later, I had them in and the fence patched. I was about to leave, when she jumped it again and headed west at a steady trot. She is faster than I am, so I didn't try to run her down. I fixed the fence again, and gave the steer and calf more hay to keep them content. Eventually she realized that her friends weren't coming and she came back. I got her locked up just before it was really dark (945). I am heading out there early this morning to completely re-do the hotwire that is not carrying the charge I need to keep her highness in. It is a full moon and she is in a strong heat. At this spot there is a huge ranch across the river, but their bulls are at a different location, so it is a very long walk to the nearest boyfriend for her. I have a feeling that life is going to give me some "colorful stories" this week. Planting Frost again this morning, and there might be one more in the next 10 days, then I can finally put everything out in the garden. I did add lemon balm to the perennial tubs. I have been using it a fair bit this spring for stress support. Fig! I got a fig plant, which will go into a bigger pot. Eventually it will go into one of the future greenhouses at the farm. Harvesting Eggs and more eggs. A neighbor suggested pickled eggs. If anyone here has pickled eggs successfully before please drop tips in the comments. Catnip. It is out of control and I have a craft fair in a few weeks that I can sell it at.
