Happy Cows
Day 143
Another long day at work, so on the way home I saw these cows, they were doing what I wished I could be doing, standing around eating, enjoying the sunny afternoon. So I did the next thing I could think of took a picture of them, standing there looking content and peaceful, eating grass, catching some rays. I couldn't be more jealous, except for that eating grass part, I could do without that.

Dinner Time
Day 142
On our way home from work tonight I was hoping to find a picture while the sun was still out, it looked like it was going to rain soon, dark clouds were rolling in. My brother says, "why don't you take a picture of those 2 hawks sitting on the pole?" So of course I tried, but they kept flying away, I would try to sneak up on them but was only able to get one still on the pole. They kept taking off and landing on the next pole, they were bugging me a little, but anyway the two of them kept taking off and flying behind a tractor that was plowing a field, I think they were looking to see what turned up, maybe find an easy meal. For the few minutes I watched them they didn't get anything but it was awesome watching the powerful big birds hunting for their dinner, hmmm, I think it's time for my dinner!

Tiny Fairies
Day 141
These bugs are the most annoying little things if you're trying to do anything outside, they buzz around your ears and fly in your mouth, they cause you to swat at the air like you're having a seizure. But next time the sun is setting and they're flitting about take a look at them, don't they look like little fairies? That's the first thing I think of when I see them like this, that they're little fairies spreading pixie dust and happiness around, which is a much better thought than swearing at them because you just swallowed a half dozen of them.
"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies." -J.M. Barrie
Babies
Day 140
Isn't spring great, there are baby birds, baby cows, baby bunnies, baby horses, baby everything, they're so cute. I have no idea how old these little guys are, they don't look all that old, they still stuck close to their mothers as they walked through their field, munching on grass and flowers. I almost didn't stop this morning because I was running a little late but so glad I did, I would have missed these super cute horses running and playing in the morning sun.
