Cows

 I have never really thought much about cows before.  They have certainly been around, and I have driven past cows here and there my whole life.  They just never really caught my attention.

These cows are right up the street from us, and this spring a few calves were born, and suddenly I am smitten.
 They are all just so sweet, the mamas and their babies and all of the cows together.  I just adore them.


They seem so peaceful and content, and in so many ways their actions have reminded me of the actions of human mamas and babies.  I am so grateful for the joy these cows have brought me.  I know it sounds silly, but I look forward to seeing them daily.

I didn't realize that you live somewhere so rural. We would have to drive quite a while to see cows :) Beautiful pictures!

It's funny how many amazing things we pass every day without even noticing.

One of the things I love about our area of Texas is the random cows you'll see in a field. Almost every spring we get to see some calves, and it's a lot of fun to see.

I found out from our science book this year, the term "cow" actually only applies to the female of the species. Cattle is the term for males and females. Who knew?
