Well we just got back fromn a week at the

farm/cabin. ie we stayed at the farm while we built

an outhouse for the cabin. A four days and we

still have some work to do, sigh. But I decided to

 start the chronicle of our adventure with a Cow Day,

something I mentioned previously that I shamelessly

stole from Roy at The Fenlandwalker Countryside Blog.

"The distant hills call to me.
Their rolling waves seduce my heart.
Oh, how I want to graze in their lush valleys.
Oh, how I want to run down their green slopes.
Alas, I cannot.
Damn the electric fence!
Damn the electric fence!"

Distant Hills

Note cows are black and white.

"I Never saw a Purple Cow,

I never hope to see one;

But I can tell you, anyhow,

I's rather see than be one."

                     The Purple Cow

                                Gelett Burgess

A little something for Mother's Day.

And so it begins.

"And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers. "  

                      The Cow
