Clean Cows

I went to the dairy farm yesterday and the cows are so CLEAN and scrubbed from the rain. The farmer was walking from the barn with a 25-pound sack of feed over his shoulder when I pulled in. He was heading to refill the green plastic feed containers. Through the bakery kitchen window I spotted the bakers in T-shirts and purple bandannas lathering up trays of fresh pastry with overflowing spatulas of whipped cream. The cream buckets are the size of trash cans, and on wheels!! The Holsteins with their huge drooping udders were lining up to get milked. The smell of mucky mud and cow manure was really strong!
