\t\t\t\tThis is the last weekend for our Bed & Breakfast<\/a>. We had four guests. Alyson O\u00fcten<\/a> and her sis, Kara,\u00a0shared a tent. They cooked over the campfire, ate our homemade s’mores, drank wine, and took turns soaking in one of our outdoor bathtubs.<\/p>\n

I woke up early this morning to feed my animals and noticed that my\u00a0pregnant Jersey cow, Maizy<\/a>, was missing.\u00a0It was just getting light, so I grabbed my binoculars and\u00a0scanned the nearby fields (covered in wheat stubble from the recent harvest). There she was, a fair amount away, looking just like an elk or deer. (It’s\u00a0hunting season here.)\u00a0Not wanting to waste any time, I broke into a run to …<\/p>\n

… wrap an orange scarf around her neck\u2014the only thing I could find in a hurry to save her.\u00a0Why on earth she\u00a0pushed through the fence without any of her cohorts remained a mystery to me. After I got her dressed in her “Halloween” costume, I came back down for some treats, a halter, and a rope. But I was shaking my head in bewilderment. She had plenty of feed, a warm stall at night, and “her people” close-by. Sooooo not\u00a0a situation of the-grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side.<\/p>\n

Later that morning, Alyson shed some light on Maizy’s mystery escapade. As it turns out, cows love marshmallows too. Especially leftover s’mores. And\u00a0stacks of graham crackers. Oh, and soapy water. BUT poor Alyson and Kara\u2014snug in their bed last night,\u00a0about to drop off to sleep WHEN a VERY large\u00a0PANTING animal (she’s\u00a0pregnant and short of breath) stumbled into their campground, slurping water from their tub, knocking over wine glasses and licking plates. “Should we go find MaryJane?” “Not me, I’m not going out there.” “Me neither.”<\/p>\n
