Diary 7/10/12

The range cows are back.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, check past posts.  Briefly I will tell you that we live in an area where cows are allowed to roam freely and I am supposed to fence them out if I don't want them.  I know, it sounds archaic and old west, but it is a reality here. Last year they got the better part of my corn.  This year we have put up an electric fence, but have not electrified it yet. We just had 9 children here. Besides, I feel that I , myself, will be getting shocked daily.  I can almost guarantee that Garden Dog who has grown used to the fence, will be the first to be bit. Poor guy, but as the bovines close in around us, I feel the need to get the ground rod in and hook up the plug-in is drawing nigh.
