The Soap Opera Continues...

Well, it's been one heck of a morning. Yesterday, my husband had brought some cows in to be put on our pasture. I had the donkeys in the pen. Today I went and let the donkeys out. They looked like they were getting along. The next thing I know , Poncho is chasing one of the cows. The donkeys back the cows into the corner and then one cow goes through the fence. The other gets chased toward our yard and ends up also going through that fence.

My neighbor, Amy, comes out to help and we managed to get the donkeys locked up, the cows back in and I helped her repair the fence. Then she tells me she is getting chest pains. The next thing I know she's on the way to the hospital. It was quite a morning to be sure.

Speaking of my neighbor Amy, she refused the mediation that I had set up to help resolve the feud between her and the other neighbor. So now I am turning to the other people in the neighborhood not involved to step in and find a way to mediate this situation. I am just afraid it's going to get ugly.

On top of that, I have been sick and have a huge bump on my jaw and neckline. It looks like the mumps but is that possible because I have had the vaccinations. Or it could be something more ominous? I hope it is just an very enlarged lymph gland . I am not wanting to go out in public because of it but I guess I will have to grin and bear it.
