Stand off . . . under the Spanish Moss . . .

Can't believe this one. Having a nice, serenely peaceful breakfast of fresh corn bread, butter, jelly made by the prisoners in Angola and coffee out in the backyard Gazebo when I hear a munching, crunching, rushing sound and as I turned I saw the cattle grazing through the fence eating some of the wild blushes in the backyard. I went to get the camera and they just placidly walked off and watched me! I didn't try to get too close because I have no clue how to act around big animals but they just stood their ground as I shot away. Of course I can't download the photos because I took everything I needed except the USB cord. What a dummy. I really scare myself sometimes.
Oh well, I'll get the pictures when we get home and put a couple on the blog. What's so neat is that the Spanish moss is gently blowing in the breeze as the cows and two calves just munch away. A pastoral scene of quiet charm under clear blue Lousiana skies. Grampa and son are at the flying contest in Baton Rouge while daughter-in-law and I are having a day of gracious Southern living.
