More Cows
Moments, scrounging for some of the very short grass. You can see she is a little on the thin side. You expect to see some rib on a hard working dairy cow, but she could use some rain to grow her some new grass. The shine on her coat tells us that she is good and healthy though.
Awww . . . still very lovely in that patch of green and sun.
What a strange year. Some areas soaked in rain and others parched. Scorching weather here . . but I heard from a friend in Wales that they would only reach 60' F on the 4th of July.
Cathy, This summer has an odd feel indeed, but I was thinking that it is a lot like summers back in the fifties and sixties when I was a kid. Not sure if memory serves me well, but I can remember the folk's garden baking in the sun, hot doggies panting under porches and begging urgently for the grandparents to take us to the lake. We do need rain, but I sure don't miss the monsoons of recent years.
