that lives right behind my house. she moos, and she watches the people stroll by, and meanders through the roomy farm she lives on. we watch her from our house, able to see her walking around, enjoying her life. we walk over to visit her, and moo to her and her farm-mates. and most of all, we hear her talking to her family, and filling the air with her voice. she recently had a baby, and she tenderly cares for her. there are three babies that were born, and the mommies are amazing with them. it is so neat to see it, and talk to my kids about the circle of life.
i love that we live in the fourth (or maybe the third?) largest city in our state, and there is a girl that looks like this behind my house.
she has a few sisters with her, and some two legged animals with wings, too. right in front of her house is a pond with *tons* of Canadian Geese. there are bunnies, and chipmunks, and skunks, and hedgehogs too.
yep, the country is everything that it's cracked up to be. there are three other farms right next to us (and about 10 within 2 square miles!) the largest right near us is that aforementioned girl's, but the next largest is about 3 or 4 minutes walking distance away. there they have horses, lots of them, and my little gal here *loves* to visit her girls at that one. it is wonderful to go outside at night, with all the little house lights on, and just listen to the breeze. the quiet is delicious, and the clean air is spectacular.
i feel so lucky to be here in the place. so very lucky......
a terrific weekend here. fun with some friends friday night at our house, two hockey games (a win and a loss - but very well played, nonetheless) piano lesson (with an awesome report from the teacher that she is doing so, so well!) gymnastics practice, the beginning of some car shopping with a great test drive, some holiday shopping, and now, snuggling with clean kids under a blanket for a good family movie night.
good stuff. 'tis good, I say.
have a great night!

Oh how cool. I just posted a picture that P took yesterday. We have lots of cows in our environment, and the yearlings are so curious. They just won't leave you alone if you are anywhere near them, they follow you around like puppies, trying to eat your coat and sniff your hair :D
I *heart* cows.
F- I noticed your picture that P took - how funny was that ... I posted this Sunday, and I just love the picture .... I need to photoshop it though and sharpen her colors and the grass ....
I *heart* cows too. My last kitchen was ALL cows ... perfect for a kitchen in Maine. :O)
