Right Outside Your Back Door

I heard a funny noise the other day and my under-caffeinated brain couldn't quite place it. It's not a sound you usually hear when you live in the suburbs. My house is right on the edge of town and just across the street is a farmer's field. Anyway, the sound turned out to be a herd of cows mooing and grazing. They sounded rather perturbed about something. Thankfully I can only hear them and not smell them!



If you look closely, you can see a mama cow feeding her calf. So cute! I've walked over there with the kids a couple of times but the cows nervously back away - except for one mean looking cow who stands firmly in one spot and gives us the evil eye. Makes me very thankful for the fence between us.
