Mad Cow Disease

Vanessa and I spent lots of time sowing buffalo grass seeds and raking them into some new topsoil. Even carefully protected them with special roll-out straw mats to keep them moist. See how happy we look in the first two photos?

But a couple of things happened shortly after this undertaking:

1- It actually rained. Lots of rain, which made the grass seeds very happy. For a short time.

2- We had an attack of the Mad cows, Bad cows, wish we never Had cows. They were just passing through on their way to our neighbor's nice tall fields of grass, since ours all burned away in our little brush fire incident a few months ago. But gee, they did some damage in a short time. So our pretty little seeded area now looks a bit, uh, cratered. Just amazing how deep a 1,000 pound cow can sink it's hooves into fresh, wet topsoil.
