I never know what I'm going to see when I drive down the road: a moose, a band of enormous turkeys, some alpacas or cows lounging on the road. A few weeks ago my husband swore he saw a zebra. I was certain he was hallucinating until I drove down the same road a day later and saw one too! That sounds really, really familiar to me.

Farmgirl_dk, What I thought was more amusing than the heifers being loose was that she knew to whom and where they belonged! That was what made me laugh! Thanks Emma & Mom! We love the sticks. Gus & Louie, I bet you would have known how to get the heifers back in the fence! I didn't think about going back to the house and getting a Border Collie. I'll remember that next time. Gafarmwoman, It's a bummer you have to pen up your guineas. I think the Border Collies could help you out there too. The farm where my BCs come from have chickens and the BCs love to put them in a pen. The farmer had to keep shooing the dogs away so the chickens could walk around! thanks all!

I did notice 7 guineas about a mile down our road last week at a neighbors and thought they have exactly as many guineas as we do(we did have 8 but 1 disappeared). Well a couple of days ago I noticed the 7 guineas down the road again at a different spot. Guess what? Those were my guineas. My husband said he suppose it is time to pen them up for a while until they get over the traveling bug.

Let me tell you Dad was really happy when someone was nice enough to let him know.. Like you said not only for the cows but also the people in the cars..

Thanks for sharing your country stories. There's nothing better than life out in the sticks. I loved reading your story about the heifers. Thanks for sharing your country stories.
