Shuffling the cards of cows.
On the way out to milk yesterday morning we were greeted with a cheerful little shower of powdery snow. Just a little. Then it melted before our eyes. Ah well. When I counted the hay bales the other day, and after doing the rather… Continue Reading “Shuffling the cards of cows.”
