Spring on the Farm

And then the cows came…

A dozen cows milling around at the bottom of our driveway
Our visitors

When you live in a rural, right to farm community, you sometimes have unusual visitors.

What started out as a delightful surprise for me meant a frustrating and difficult day for our neighbors at Chestnut Farms when a bunch of their cows decided to go walkabout.

You know you’re not in the city or the ‘burbs anymore when you call the police dispatch number and they don’t skip a beat when you tell them there are a dozen cows on your property – and you don’t actually have cows.

Ultimately, all the cows made it home safely, our lawns got some free fertilizer, our dogs had something new to bark at, and I enjoyed our temporary herd.
