A Whole Lotta Bull!

A week ago today I was rounding up all of our fair entries including some produce from the garden.

It was early morning and heading back to the porch with cantaloupe, apples, and okra in a large bowl, I noticed something odd to the side of the house.

Upon closer inspection I discovered we had a visitor.

Where did you come from?!  And please go back to where ever that is...now....please.

I really don't need you in my life and your making things very hard for me!

Go away!.....Shoo, you overgrown hamburger, Shoo!

He didn't budge and why would he...he probably out-weighs me by 1500 pounds or so.

So I did what any good wife and mother would do, I called the hubby on the cell phone to vent my frustration and look for guidance.

He called the owner of the pasture next to ours and sure-nuff he owns a very large and very male Brangus bull.

Problem is, he lives in the next county and won't be able to do anything about this very unwelcome visitor until later in the morning.

So now I'm seething as I've got to get a kid to band practice and get all of our fair goodies to the expo center.

Oh good he seems to moving off and outta here,

Git along lil doggie, git along !

And then, he was gone, out of my life... Thank you, Lord.

So now on to much more pleasant and tamer things.

I hope your week has gotten off to a great start!

Blessings, Julie

I think I'll take my moody rooster over your neighbor's bull anytime. Be glad you are not driving a red van.
Love the pictures.

Well, at least you had a little bit of excitement in your life! Excitement always seems to come when you don't want it.

Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Oh, that was funny! Well written - good on you! I love the flower at the top of your post - is it hibiscus? Thanks for popping by - I'll admit quietly that you've only got a year on me!
Trust your week is going well. We'll be easing into school late this week or beginning next - not sure I'm ready yet! God bless you

Too funny. Did you ask if he was tame? He didn't do that to your porch did he? I'm glad he went away and you got to do your projects.

Well, how do you like that. I thought I posted a comment here! I enjoy your posts so much, Julie. You have such an exciting life. Nothing ever comes into our yard, except one time we had a pigeon with an injured wing. Don't ever feed one. They have an IQ of like, 4, and you can't get rid of them once they decide to like you. We had to outsmart him, or rather, out-dumb him.

I think I figured something out. You write your posts piece-meal and save them in drafts, don't you. They do not come up on my friends page, and I think that's why. If I were smarter than a pigeon I would figure out how to use a feed....

I know it wasn't hilarious then, but you have such a good sense of humor. You definitely had me laughing.

I'm glad our neighbors cows are afraid of our driveway and that's the only way into our place. Because I've seen them eat up all of the flowers around a different neighbor's house.
