Good Evening

Today we met our dairy cow.  Her name is Evening.  As a group we went to pick her up at Sentinel Elm, the School's other farm where the kids' programs are based.  Evening is a brown Jersey cow with a black face and eyes...those eyes...that are huge and dark and beautiful.

Is it bad to fall in love with a dairy cow?  We walked her back down the road to Maggie's Farm, where she'll stay with us for a few months while we learn to milk her and take care of her.  She is so sweet, and apparently her milk is, too.

Right now she's not too happy in her new, temporary abode.  She seems to be missing her fellow cows and occasionally glances up wistfully towards home as she chomps on the pasture's tall grass.
