Neighbors







My husband's upcoming deployment would be so much harder without our neighbors. We don't see each other alot, wave hello when our cars pass, mostly. My nearest relatives are 80 miles away, so it is a blessing to know there is someone nearby to help when we get in a jam. To paraphrase Dave Ramsey, when the deployment starts, Murphy (of the notorious Law) moves in!

Today after feeding the goats, I noticed that my neighbor's longhorn cattle were lounging near our shared fenceline. Longhorns are fascinating animals, an older breed that is not a hothouse flower. They do not need pampering. I took the opportunity to get close to them for a few photos. One of the calves was curious, as was one of my Great Pyrenees livestock dogs. They shared a "tete~a~tete" through the wire.
