G-d has a great sense of humor. We were both so busy working we completely forgot about prepping dinner before the fast was to begin. I was going to make brisket, but my husband was feeling steaks on the grill, instead. Neither one was defrosted. “We forgot to defrost the beef and now it is almost sundown!” Then the dogs freaked out. We heard a moo.
Insert “very defrosted” jokes here.
“Sorry I was late calling you back,” he said to his work colleague as they reconnected remotely, “we had a cow situation.”
It was right there at the gate, waiting for it to open again so it could go through. It was waiting for its baby, which was on the other side. We opened the gate and my husband gave them a bit of water. It was getting late and we could hear the coyote howl. They spent the night in the main yard and left in the morning, despite having the gate open all night. (The dogs did not let me forget they were there.)
Never did eat dinner. Well, I think it was after sundown when we had a little something (oops), and it was all veggies. 🐮
