Buffalo in Trumansburg

On Thursdays, I go out with my "Thursday night Girls".  We have been doing this for years, and it is great fun.  I just got home, so don't have much time to post before bed.  Susan G., whose blog is on my links list, also came with us tonight.  Good to have you, Susan.

In the last year or so, a local farmer has started ranching bison.  He had about 20 of them.  About two weeks ago, some enterprising people "set them free" by opening their pen and throwing   tennis balls at them until they were driven out.

They are not too fond of people these days (imagine that).  They have been roaming up and down the old rail road bed just across the big field from my house.  It is pretty weird to wake up and see bison in the oat field, in the morning mists.  Makes me think I am back in Bozeman!

Anyway, here are some pics of them next to my neighbor Dan and Celia's pond, where Jack and I went to swim last night.  Well, Jack swam, I watched...
