Protected feels good







Yippee! Our fence is enclosed. They come back in a week to put on the top rail (they have to hand peel it) and install the solar opener for the gate, but the important thing here is: THE COWS CANNOT GET IN! They have been marching through our woods today sidling up to the fence looking puzzled, if cows can look puzzled. One of the bulls was back & forth this morning along the fence grunting. Good test, I say; although I think an enraged bull could just smash through the wire. This one does not seem the enraged type happily...






We have also purchased at a greatly reduced price, some aspen trees from the nursery that sent us the gardener. She was at the nursery this morning and helped us enormously. Cross your fingers they will survive the winter! Imagine, the nursery is closing for the winter in Oct. Not used to that; hope the employees have alternative jobs lined up.




Lots of the wildflowers are done blooming but on the way to the nursery over Ohio Pass we saw these. I guess it's higher and they're protected a bit.
