Found

Three days missing, I had retraced steps several times.  I circled the barns and the garden. I looked in jacket pockets that I had not even worn (I was very diligent). I thought that I had looked everywhere and there was no trace of my missing new glove.

That is, until I started the irrigation up to fill the stock tanks and water the garden. There in the weeds next to the fence that I climbed to run a hose for the stock tanks of a cow and two calves that are in their own pen, was my missing glove.

I swear that I had looked by the fence when I had lost the glove, but the color matched the bedraggled weeds and so there it has been sitting and waiting for me to start up the irrigation to fill the tanks.

Dirty rotten wrassen, frassen, sassen…it sure would have better for my sanity if I would have found the confounded glove three days ago.
