MORE GLORIOUS SUNSETS...

Pictures are worth a thousand words...so I won't bother to write in this blog, I'll just let the pictures explain how things are out on the Santa Rita...

BABBQ...

What is BABBQ you ask? It stands for...Bulls Against Bar-B-Ques!
When we got to our place this weekend the first thing we saw was that the T-Square near our driveway wasn't just leaning over as it usually is...no, it was all the way over in the dirt. Didn't think much of it because the cows have been pushing on that sign for the last two years. But the cows were obviously getting a bit more aggressive.

So, up the driveway we went...only to find yet another one of our piers knocked over. Bound to happen, we'll probably have to take them all out and start all over again. Okay, onward, around the bend in the driveway...our little trailer was in sight... but where was the little Weber kettle we had bungied to the trailer???

Ah, we found it, and all of our outdoor furniture strewn about in the meadow on the other side of the trailer. Pieces here, pieces there. It seems that cows have a craving for anything that is made of rubber, or black plastic because they ate the bungy cords, and the plastic flex wire covers off the water trailer.

And we pretty much know who the culprit was because there were a plethora of big, deep hoof prints in the dirt. It had obviously been raining at some point and the ground was pretty chewed up. So as we were trying to put the kettle back together, and the furniture back into place...Bill heard a rustling in the trees. Rustling and snorting....and thats when he saw the big black BULL in the trees just beyond the trailer. Oddly enough we had not seen any other cows in the area. We did see some later that weekend however.

This big black Bull was obviously on a rampage against BBQ's because when I went over to Bill/Joan and Tom/Darlene's place...their BBQ was in a couple of pieces, strew about, obviously no longer tucked neatly under their trailer. (We tried to gather up the pieces and put them under the trailer) I also went to Tom's place on Lot 1 and his BBQ Grill was tipped over on it's side!

This Bull was obviously zeroing in on BBQ's! Even though we've had a lot of cows roaming on our property, we've never seen the kind of destruction this Bull created on our properties.
