Josie the Cow Wrangler

                                                                             


I had a busy afternoon yesterday. Meema picked me up and we went to the library and returned books and I picked out six new ones. There was a girl there who goes to my school--she is in kindergarten--and we played outside. I am in the pink crocs.


She had on boots. They aren't so good for running up the slide like I do.


Then we went in and did puppet shows. I did Little Red Riding Hood for her.


We entertained her little sister.


She is pretty cute for a baby.


Then there was another baby! We had our hands full!


When we got back to the farm, the cows were in the wrong pasture and they could get out and go anywhere!  Oh dear, said Meema, I'd better call Grumpy.

Don't worry! I can get them, I said, and jumped out of the car while she was calling Grumpy. I have done this before and know how to make them go where they should.




You just have to get behind them and kind of shoo them to where they should be. There were about eight of them and most went back in the right pasture but two were off in a corner. I ran fast and got behind them. 


I did it all myself except I needed help getting the gate pulled shut. Meema did that. Josephine, you are amazing, she said. You are like a little Border Collie, you run so fast.

I told her not to worry. If it happened again, she could call me and I would take care of it.


 Finally back at the house, I had a snack and then made some weapons for my Castle Ladies.

Here are some more that are waiting for the glue to dry. They are very fancy.

She is a wonder! How did she know how to corral those cows?

Probably she's watched/helped her dad.

Bailey should help her with the cows -- although she obviously does very well on her own. She is a delight. I love seeing her entertaining the babies and playing with anybody who happens to show up. Josie will never lack for friends, and she will be loved all her life by everyone who knows her. 💗

Love seeing that cow looking at little Josie...like, "who are you (Mooo) to say where I should be going?" But apparently that little Josie had the right attitude and succeeded! Yay! Cool looking staffs (weapons?) for the smallest ladies!

Or should it be staves?

So capable, she's amazing. Practical and imaginative is a great combination of talents.
