'Till the Cows Come Home

Life's Highway field reporters are a determine breed. The venture into unknown territories, they get funny looks, (one time I got the full hands on the hips glare), they drag family members into the game to be their drivers and apparently they will stock their prey for 6 months:

The Dean comments and submits

"My latest entry is six months in the making.  Northern participants in your game have the disadvantage of having yard art hidden by snow in winter and sometimes removed from the yards out of fear of freezing damage.  In this case I was aware of these cows and just did not get their photos before the cold weather set in.  The big cows head was removed and the small cow put in the garage for winter. When spring came the big cows head was not reattached till recently when new flowers were planted.

The big cow is a washing machine. "

Don't you just hate it when you gain weight and your head looks really small and you lose your neck? I know I do

"Now for natural yard art. I suspect you will deny me points but may add it to your interesting pix.  I often have puff ball mushrooms in my yard that show up in early fall.  I have never seen this type of fungus growing in my yard before. I found it while trying to track a opossum I was trying to photograph this morning.  The fungus is about fourteen inches in diameter, and no I did not photo shop the color."

OMG, that's a chihuahua eater for sure.
