Sissy & Panda
Around here we split up the animal chores, his cows and my chickens. But since May he has a job that interferes with him doing his chores so I feed his cows. Now, Im not complaining I've really gotten to enjoy the cows and hanging out in the barn each day.
But when I first started feeding the cows it wasnt fun. I wondered where was the joy in this? Using a pitch fork was a hard way to get hay off a round bale. The bales were to large for me to roll some hay off. My arms hurt, my back hurt. It made me sweat and it was itchy.
Over the course of time Ive gotten stronger and figured out how to use that pitch fork and how to roll the hay. Often I find my self whistling a tune as I do the hay. Its know longer a hard chore to do and hay I kinda enjoy it!
I do believe the ol saying, Men work from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done, is oh so true! And bet you can now feed your cows, just as good as any feller can, lol. Congratulations on your accomplishment...just know it feels pretty durned good, too! Gracie
