The cows

Did I mention that the cows are back ?

The fields have felt naked since December when the cows went inside for the winter, and for calving. You just looked at the empty fields and knew something was missing. It makes me feel a little uneasy when the fields are just fields.

Now they are back. Not the whole herd yet, but maybe half of the herd.

And chatting with my neighbour on the lane the other morning, we could hear a woodpecker not too far away, another delicious nudge that Spring is not far away.

My father always used to say that he would like to hibernate through winter and wake up in Spring. I thought he was three kinds of nuts. Now I know just what was on his mind.
