Keep up with your camera!
Saturday, April 19th, 2008This town is pretty sleepy, in a Mayberry way (not that that’s a bad thing). But in the last 2 weeks, I’ve had a small herd of cows moving through my yard, to and fro. It’s funny to watch the cats freak out in the windows when these behemoth bovines walk through. Fuzzed tails are always funny. I’m not at all afraid of cows, and if only the camera would appear to me, I’d make friends with them, and have an impromptu photo shoot in the yard. Which is kinda funny, b/c if my mom knew, she’d freak. Nevermind the fact I’m 27 years old; she thinks all cows are killer beasts whose only purpose is to be served on a bun or with A-1. They may be tasty 
but they are pretty cool. How many other animals do you know can touch their noses with their tongues?
So, the camera hunt of ‘08 has begun. And I’m hoping that when that stinking garden plot I keep threatening is finally dug, that they will be nice cows and leave.it.alone. Maybe I’ll tell them I was a vegetarian once, and I’ve always thought cows were noble and stoic, and chickens taste better, anyway. If not, then…well, summer’s coming, and I love a good bbq
