We weaned our calves a couple weeks ago and John conveniently put them in the pasture in front of our house. The grass is green and lush and whenever we look out the windows we get to see something similar to this delightful little view…..
Unfortunately this also means that if I desire to leave my house I must get in the car, drive, stop, get out of the car, open a gate, get back in the car, drive, stop, get out of the car, shut the gate, get back in the car, drive, stop, get out of the car, open another gate, get back in the car, drive, stop, get out of the car, shut the gate, and then get back in the car and drive to where ever the heck I’m going. Only to do it all over again when I come back home. That is why, my friends Rishelle, even when my fridge looks like this….
Okay I was too ashamed to show this picture. But just imagine in your minds if you will a very sad and gloomy fridge where milk, juice, or any edible food is absent.
….We I choose to stay home. And when my kids are hungry and they are pleading and demanding for just a little chocolate milk and a morsel of bread I tell them when they are big enough to open the gates we will go to town and we will eat and we will be merry. But until then they will get water with perhaps a little food coloring if they behave and some old stale graham crackers to dip in it.
After a short, but rather unruly protest they head back outside to do this…..

Gather random objects and stash them away preparing for worse times ahead.

Get in the car kids. We’re going to town.
