Like when it is a sticky, humid 95 degree day and milking the radiant cow is like snuggling up to a barbecue grill in that temp and she is all muddy from last night's downpouring rain and it washed off her bug stuff and now flies are biting your ankles and tickling your arms and bothering the cow so she is antsy and stomping her feet and you are periodically switched in the face with her tail and the guinea hens are making a nerve-wracking racket outside the stall door and your stomach is growling because you started chores without eating anything and you haven't even had your coffee or your shower yet. <br />But usually it is more romantic than that, thank goodness.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867572450926221667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655792169976182188.post-2970155626559923582010-08-12T12:09:27.748-07:002010-08-12T12:09:27.748-07:00What a treat to read of!

I wish to have a cow I can sing songs to. <br />(How about a photo of you singing/milking?)<br /> <br />Thank you for sharing this charming little piece of your farm life. It helps romanticize the farm life I dream of.<br />~IllouraLaureli https://www.blogger.com/profile/03648493780017930693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655792169976182188.post-54411980435974756362010-08-09T05:45:06.713-07:002010-08-09T05:45:06.713-07:00Thanks for sharing your milking song!
