Woah!!!!

The sun was just barely up this morning. I was enjoying the early morning news, checking email and looking out the window. Now why is that goat out eating in the pasture by herself? Usually the goats are out eating and roaming in their herd. Squinting my eyes I yelled out the window to her, "Britches". She didnt lift her head? Maybe she found a good weed or some really tasty grass, so I yelled again "Britches". Still no look from her. Ok, so now I lifted the screen to get a better view. Well, maybe that isn't Britches. The binoculars are hanging on the door so I grab them to get an even better look. Woah, that isnt a goat but a coyote. What is that wiley coyote doing in our pasture???? They can and will take down a goat. I hustle down the stairs, slip on some shoes and get out to the pasture. Thankfully all of the goats are accounted for! I holler at the coyote to get out of here. It hurries to the corn and disappears. We are hoping that it will not be back but will be checking with the DNR on hunting/trapping rules of coyote. It would be awful to have a coyote coming onto our property for free pickings. The camera is pretty much on the fritz as I cant zoom in too much so I didnt bother with any pictures. Sorry. I did take some garden pictures, but will try and blog and post pictures tomorrow.
