We left home last Wednesday with great anticipation for the week ahead. We had two profiles to film as part of an ongoing project and a conference to attend. Both had our creative juices flowing. We were giddy with expectation.<\/p>\n
Because we have six cows on pasture and a small flock of chickens – in addition to our dog and two cats – we have to make extra provisions for animal care compared to our urban counterparts. For instance, we know if the cows run low on grass in a pasture, at least one of the steers has an inclination to jump the fence looking for greener opportunities. And a cow getting in the road is a car wreck and a multi-million dollar lawsuit just waiting to happen.<\/p>\n
As we rolled down the drive, I glanced over at the layer flock with a passing thought: \u201cI hope today\u2019s rain doesn\u2019t cause the chickens\u2019 electric fence net to sag over.\u201d We were running about 30 minutes past our planned departure with a set time to meet one of our interviewees in Knoxville. I reassured my internal alarm with the knowledge that our neighbors were watching over our animals. And anyway, we can\u2019t stay home and be on the road doing our work, so we had to get going.<\/p>\n
