Life in the country has been interesting and an adjustment. However, I am proud to say I like it and as long as I can get back to the city at least once every couple of weeks I am good to go!
Winter was interesting because we had snow here in Central Texas. Then after a very rainy Spring we had a nice crop of Blue Bonnets. In late May we purchased 10 cows with our neighbor Darvin. The know no boundaries and we had to shoo them off the patio before they are all my flowers. They did enjoy eating my $40 of brand new rose bushes I planted in the front of the house. As with they cows last year I named most of these as well. We have Chuck (as in Chuck Roast initially, now after eating my roses he is ground chuck), Porter, Dinty and Moore, Knobby (he has rather large knees) and Norman (name chosen by my nephew Mitch in honor of City Slickers) and Sam. Fred has adjusted well and enjoys watching all the wild life. I'm sure he would rather be an explorer than a voyeur but I prefer that he doesn't become something's lunch or dinner.
