Divine Bovine

I saw a cow in the maternity barn at Wright's Dairy last night. She was all black with a crescent white moon on her left thigh and little bit of white on her ankles. I saw the cow named Blue who is all white with speckles of black. I've followed Blue and her offspring for years. The six roosters in the rafters of the hay barn had such colorful plumage that I wanted to make a painting of them.

Wright's Dairy tore down the old wooden cow path that led to the white wooden milking barn, and now there's a path lined with chain link fencing leading to the red metal barn. It's the new gigantic milking parlor for the cows. The public visiting hours haven't begun yet.

Lily loves visiting the cows and the farm is only three miles away.
