Diary 10/26/12

Someone's leaf collection

Yesterday was visitation day at the garden.  First there was a group of deer.  It looked like the same gang that had been eating flowers in the yard the morning before. Then we had a group of cows come through.  They are moving down from higher parts of their range.  Then we had a ancient brown bull come through.  He mostly stood there, not wanting to move. When I walked towards the group of younger cows beyond him, he just hoped he could stay put while the others left.  I had to give him hand signals and some "shoeing" to get him to start his swaying hipped sachet away. He came sometime this morning and ate our lawn.  Reminds me of the book I just finished, The Dirty Life. I really don't care, but worry a little what he might want to eat tonight.  Poor thing, he looks sore in the hips and even fell down when he slipped on the rock road heading downhill.
