THE LEANING TREE HOMESTEAD

HELPING OTHERS

Yesterday, I met thh sweetest man. He is probably in his 70s or so. His land that he has cattle on is just across the way from our.  Well, last night about 7 ish, my dogs were going hey wire!! I look out and to my dismay there are about 12 head of cattle in my front yard.  So I hunt down this mans number and call him.  It was him and his grandson that looked like he was about 13 ish and then his grandaughter who looked about 11ish. I ended up helping them get the cows back in.  An easy task, it was not!! LOL  We had to first find a place where they could cross the creek. Everytime we tried it was either to steep of a drop or the water was to deep.  So finally we find a place and here I am wading across the creek trying to herd these cattle across.  Then it was another 30 minutes or more before we could find where they got out at. So in all it took us about 2 hours to get them back in the fence.  Come to find out, he used to preach at a methodist church in my hometown. I thought that was neat.  So he thanked me and brought me back home so I did not have to walk by myself across the creek again. It is strange how in short time of knowing someone that you learn to care about a person. He was so kind and he acted like he was barely getting around. So, in short, I will help this man out anytime he needs it.

I hope it's ok...
