Interesting Morning

This morning I noticed the cows were acting funny out in the pasture. They were all grouped up and then would run. I got the binoculars out to see what was going on. I could see a large gray something in the pasture with them. I threw on the carharts, grabbed a gun and out I went. I shut the electric fence off and started walking out to the cows. Ava thought that she should join me and was headed out to the pasture too. As I got closer I could see what the cows were messing with. It was a coyote!!! As Ava got close to it, it took off like a shot and she was right on his heels. Of course he was headed for the woods on the other side of our property and she was gonna stop chasing him no matter how much I yelled. I fired the gun up in the air because she is afraid of gun shots, but that didn't slow her down. I was headed to the truck to go look for her and I saw her coming back. I think she chased him to the edge of our property and came back. I checked her over to make sure she didn't tangle with him, but she didn't have a scratch. Thank God for that because she is due for her rabies shot right now.

The horse vet is scheduled to come today to give shots and pull Coggins for all of my horses. Of course the weather has to be crappy and cold today. I'm hoping that there won't be any problems for them getting down the drive, since it rained last night. It doesn't look like it should be bad, but who knows. DH did a ton of work on the drive trying to get the water to shed off to the side instead of pooling in the drive.

Tomorrow I start a series of classes at the LQS on the new sewing machine I bought last month. DH has several pairs of pants that need to be hemmed, so hopefully I will learn how to do that on this machine. I've got a couple days of basic machine use and then a couple of days of embroidery training. I'm looking forward to it because I have the software to do some cool embroidery stuff, but I don't know how to use it. These class are one day a week, so its gonna be a month before I learn how to do everything, but it will be worth the wait.
