I Hate It When Buzzards Stare At Me
When John let me out on the tank dam yesterday to feed the fish and turtles there were white birds and black birds sharing a dead tree across the way. I could tell the white birds were Egrets and finally figured out the black birds were buzzards. The Egrets flew away when I walked to the water's edge but the buzzards kept their position. It made me feel a little odd since I wasn't feeling so well. John said they were just waiting for me to leave so they could get a drink. Last week the gas company called John to tell him after the Memorial Day week-end they will start on their project of running gas lines through the ranch property. That is going to be a new experience for us. Can't wait to see how they are going to keep the cattle and especially the curious calves out of those deep trenches. I'm sure this is not their first rodeo and they know what they are doing. They will be cutting fences to get their equiptment in and putting in gates. Can't wait to see this process and how it all works and how much money John will get for the loss of grazing.

oh, this whole thing sounds very messy. we just got 'official' notice this week that a gas company is going to begin surveying across our property (and SO many others) to see if it is feasible/best location to run another gas line across this area, too. yuck!
Gas lines are NOT something I want to talk about...Grr...I'd like to tell the gas line company to KMA!! But it's either we allow it or they take it...Even though you think you own your property and you pay taxes on it you DO NOT own it!! And you never will!!
Nebraska is up in arms because of the trans Canada pipe line going through.They are fighting it but I think it will go through. I would not want buzzards staring at me.
I hope for John's sake they do know what they are doing. If he has to go hearding up cows on the highway or pulling steers out of ditches....well let's just say I wouldn't want to be you having to put up with John then! - Barbara

Buzzards just watching you, eh? Can't be a good sign!
Yeah, that bird gives me an eerie feeling also.
Looking forward to reports of the pipe's burying. Mostly I do not like burials. LOL This will be different!!!
Sure hope they really do know what they're doing ::fingers crossed:: Hope you are feeling better Paula. I had buzzards circling overhead when I was laying on a raft in the pool. I laughed and yelled to them that I'm relaxing and sunning not dead! :D
Why am I skeptical about them???? I hope they know what they're doing. take care.
Happy Memorial Day, Paula! Tell John I said Hi. I like the names you gave your new catfish pals.

I got a chuckle out of the title of this post!
