You have heard of the adage, "laughter makes for the best medicine". Well here on the farm that is so true. A few days ago, I was trimming the grass behind the goats area. As I worked I broke one of the "hot wires". After I repaired the wire I went to check the voltage.
I switched on the fence and for a moment the voltage drops. I say to myself good someone got lit up! (I feel this way do due to the fact that goats being the sneaky creatures that they are will check to see if the fence is off so they can stick their heads through the fence and eat the much better grass on the other side). After the third drop I hear a blood curdling scream, "TURN OFF THE FENCE!!!". I sheepishly poke my head around the corner. My eyes behold my better half. One peek and I see that a cat dipped in hot oil would be less peeved. I ask her innocently, are you ok? She uses some colorful metaphors. I then start to laugh, first a small giggle, but then a big belly laugh! It is in all good fun and the only thing hurt was her pride! (she does not agree with this statement!)
Isn't love grand!
