When you said about following the cow trails, I always loved to follow them through the pastures too.<br />Stay warm, next time I would love to stay for coffee. :)Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-37381822503650684612012-01-11T08:05:08.633-07:002012-01-11T08:05:08.633-07:00Wayside Wanderer,
You asked some interesting quest...Wayside Wanderer,<br />You asked some interesting questions about my pasture walks. My goals. Well, the last few days I've walked out there, I did different things. One day I walked straight out to the next fence line and then made a big circle. There is a round stockade way out there that I walked to and also a water tank that I wanted to look at. When I saw the badger, I knew I wanted to walk back to that area and see if I might catch him out and about. I don't usually time myself, but sometimes my tired feet or legs tell me it's time to turn around and go home. There are different ponds and reservoirs that I consider as landmarks and also fence lines. I can see the buildings too so I know where I am. Badgers are very interesting and can be mean too. Usually they will pop into a hole or scamper away when they see humans, but if they are bringing in an antelope or other prey into their hole, watch out! <br /><br />On yesterday's walk the goal was to see the badger again, but I didn't. I didn't walk as far as the previous day because I had already walked up to the mailbox. The scenery was very pretty yesterday with that sky!<br /><br />Tina, I do think our badgers look much different than those of the UK.<br /><br />MK, I think it's funny that you call our prairie grass "fluffly." It looks fluffy from the pics, but it is anything but fluffy. Quite dry and stiff right now.<br /><br />Thimbleanna,<br />I'm happy to clarify what the badger looks like. He's a big creature and a tough guy of the prairie.<br /><br />~JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-83337502991971243922012-01-11T06:42:45.033-07:002012-01-11T06:42:45.033-07:00Wouldn't it be fun to be neighbors together to...Wouldn't it be fun to be neighbors together to take the pasture walks? Your photos are beautiful.

I LOVE the pic of the fluffy prairie grass with its zigzag path, and the billowy sky. Beautiful!

I really enjoyed this post...and the blond and blue scenery. <br /><br />When you go walk in the pasture what is your goal? Do you walk in a straight line and back again? Or do you make a big circle? How do you decide when to turn back? Do you time it? Or is there some landmark? These are all things I would be thinking if I were to take off walking there. <br /><br />That badger is really interesting. What ears! And claws!Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.com
