It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and the perfect day for a drive...a cattle drive that it! We moved the cows to this morning to the other ranch, something we do several times each summer. It is always a lot of fun, but today I noticed a few different things....
Nana got to go with us and she had such a great time. She wanted us to move the cattle before she had to leave. She was sure to tell me she wanted a few pictures so all of the family would believe she helped move cows.
I rode up through the cattle so I could get a good picture of nana with the cattle. She proceeded to take off her sweater. I said, "Nana, are you too warm?" She said, "A little, but I can't be taking a picture with this city sweater on!"
Hopefully no one was in too big of a hurry today. There's nothing like driving to town and getting held up in a herd of cattle. I would rather that any day than being held up in traffic and stop lights. A lot of people come through that are from out of the area. They have never seen anything like this. We usually "take the cars through". Today, we had a couple of cars that chose to hold back and follow behind. They said, "We don't see thing like this every day."
Some just got stuck in "cattle" traffic...
I also get a kick out of watching the cows. They definitely have personalities!
We saw Tanner's cow, Bessie...
Some get out and move fast, others take their time. Others even pick up a new hat along the way!
When all was said and done, the cattle drove at 6 miles per hour, they ended up in a beautiful green meadow and everyone was happy....
The dogs worked hard and needed a rest...
We learned the horses liked cookies and wanted a treat too...
Finally, we all had a minute to stop, visit and relax after a beautiful morning of moving the cattle. Taking in the beautiful surroundings, enjoying great company and enjoying a simple part of life was a Sunday blessing from God!
