Much to see this early morn, driving west to Napanee–
Bright goldfinches swift in flight, a rare and sweet delight.
Then our local resting cows—gathered close when we drive by.
Fertile fields, green lines sprouting, neat cornrows straight and winding.
White seed fluff drifts high and low, ending their grand growth cycle.
Wide open windows, fresh air flows, until trucks lift clouds of dust.
By the road a school bus loads, then a group packing for a trip.
Rattling down our last road home, we dodge manure and deep potholes.
Home at last, a huge relief, now we can go back to bed.

Ahh…that lovey coming home feeling! There’s nothing like it when you’ve been away and I enjoy the details you paint – goldfinches are beautiful and you’re lucky to see them.

Thanks Lynn… they look OK but they always are sitting down when we pass…I hope they have space or times when they can roam…like other cows I see.

We raise cattle and they do spend a lot of time resting while chewing their cud (long digestive process).

That’s good to know. Perhaps these cows are just well fed.

Beautiful imagery of a personal immediate experience Janice. But how could you go back to bed after such natural stimulation?

Given our regular schedule we were up very early with only a half night’s sleep…it was fun seeing the morning countryside but it didn’t kill the exhaustion unfortunately.
