We've had a rainy day - and it's still raining, but nothing like New York and southern New England have endured with this storm.  I hope everyone is safe and reasonably dry tonight, wherever you are.

The day started off with lots of excitement when, just as we were finishing breakfast, we spotted a herd of cattle at the end of our driveway.  They crossed our drive and went to the far end of our lawn, then within ten minutes or so, they had all reversed and went back they way they'd come.  We knew they belonged to Dale Tetreault, who pastures them on the lower side of West Shore Road near Deeper Ruts Road.  There were two or three loose yesterday and Sherry LaPrade had stopped to tell us.  We tried to reach Dale, but hadn't had much success.  However, today someone else had reached him and we got to talk with him when he was trying to locate the herd.  He found them and got them back in the pasture - so all ended well.  They are really good looking critters, and like I told Fred - seeing cattle like that sort of dulls my appetite for steak and hamburg . . .  I remember a few years ago when Frank Pastor's cattle got out and hung out most of one afternoon on our back lawn.  They were really big brutes and weren't up for being driven anywhere, but John and Jason Randall finally got them back in Frank's pasture herding them with ATV's.   


Tomorrow will bring more rain here, so be careful, there may be some high water or flooding on the highways in some areas.
