One Day on the Farm

In my bathrobe while I was making morning tea out of the corner of my eye I saw cows dashing across the yard heading towards the road.
Running with total disregard to proper dress only checking to make sure nothing was showing I went running down the road after the cows hoping to get in front of them to turn them around. Fortunately traffic came to a halt and a car stopped their path by turning his car perpendicular to the road. Once the cows turned around we moved them slowly back towards home into the yard and into their pasture. The garden remained untouched. Their footprints led to a damaged fence. Oops their was a place in the fence that was not as secure as it should have been and behind it was a wild apple tree loaded with tempting desert. The higher they reached the more they broke the fence. I would sure loved to have blamed it on hunters, deer runting season or even the hot air balloon that flies too low startling the cows, but not this time.
