sounds very nice. yes cows are funny one calf used to follow me everywhere and if i held still he'd suck my lower pantleg. my ex mother in law n i are still very close n she has a cow named lilac she keeps for milk. we went there a yr or so ago n my kids got to milk her and make butter.
i like bluejays i always have but my mom hates them. supposedly they will kill other birds babies and eat them. when i was a kid my dad called me gorgeous gorby. later i learned a gorby is a canada jay. a bird with such an appetite completely wild birds will take food from your hand. it's true i feed them at the camps up at daicey n kidney ponds on mt. katahdin. thanks dad.

my aunt had 16 horses everything from shetland ponies to a huge palamino and tennessee walking horses. we used to go like 100 ft into the pasture and call them. it took a while then all of a sudden they were all thundering at you. the game was to see how close they got till we were running for the fence.
now i know they wouldn't have trampled us but back then... eeek.
i'm moving to another place for a year first but i found a place where we can have a garden. we did a couple of years ago and it was a lot of fun. we had fantastic luck with everything we planted.
my mom makes maple syrup some years and that's fun too to get the kids involved in. it's a lot of work but it's kinda cool using your own syrup all year.
