EARL THE ORANGE STEALER

I live off the back of a farm
an old orange grove, now no longer worked because of too many freezes
The cows roam freely
and eat whatever oranges they can reach off the trees
most only have some fruit at the top

but up near the fence one lone orange tree
was loaded with fruit

this big male cow crashed the fence and had a banquet
I yelled out to my husband
"Honey" there is a cow in the yard!
so off I went to find the farmer to corral his cow

with a little coaxing Earl got back on the right side of the fence
and the fence post was fixed

I guess it was yummy he cleaned off the tree
Pretty exciting stuff for a city girl like me
all these photos were taken with a zoom, no way was I getting that close to
Earl
