Well, there you go.....
Three posts in and I'm already a hypocrite. My summary says no memorized scripture verses, and I'm quoting creeds . Well, truth be known, I had to look it up. I can get through most of it, but then I get verses mixed up and have to start over in my mind.... its kinda like the third verse in a hymn. If you don't have the book, your just hummin along anyway.
Just thought I'd better straighted that up...
A lot of fence stretching and testing (you could insert "accidently touching" here instead of testing)going on lately. Seems with all this dry weather, the goats want to venture over and satisfy they're craving for zoysia, or bermuda, or whatever is on our neighbors yards.
The Latest test while sucessful was the most embarrasing. Usually I don't see a sole at the entrance to my 10 acre pasture, but not yesterday.I was all wore out from fighting the creeks and briars and hills, so when I'm leaving the place, I usually only care about locking the gate and getting home. Well, I drug the metal chain I usually latch the gate with across the hot wire ZWAAAPPPP "Golly Bum!!" Thats when I heard "It gettcha?" Two of my neighbors were standing up the hill, laughing.
Well, recovering a little from the shock (man I hate that feeling) and the embarrasment I thought I'd better go apologize for my vagabond goats and went up there. I was explaining I was trying to do everything I could to keep em in and I stretched this hot wire last Sunday and if they would tell me the next time they're out, I'd appreciate it. Then our conversation went someting like this:
Neighbor- "I think I saw em out today"
Me - "Your kidding right. When?"
Neighbor- "Turn around"
There they were. Looking at me wanting me to move so they could have a clear path to the lawn. So I switched into goat wrangler mode and herded them all back through the gate. Found a place where they were crawling through in the dry creek bed and patched my patch.
Man these things will make you humble!!
