:shock: Friday night was hideous,the air was swollen with
humidity, the temp was 80 degees, the clouds were angry
and black. :x Over the radio, a tornado warning was issued for my county. At the same time the siren sounded from the nearby town. The wind began to whip, the trees to bend,
hail to fall. I was in the barn finishing up chores. I muttered a silent prayer to the heavens, grabbed up the smallest bottle
heifer in my arms and headed for the cellar. There we sat,
the dog, the calf, hubby and I. hubby fianally the calf nestled
at my feet, her soft little hereford face asleep on my knee. :heart: . "What is that calf doing here in the cellar?" he
yelled over the wind. "Well,' I promptly replied, " if the barn
goes I will at least have saved one calf." The storm finally
subsided enough for us to go upstairs into the house. The
calf ran around the kitchen looking for her bottle. She only
tinkled on the kitchen floor twice! :lol2:
