Whoa- looks like I missed reporting on the most mass-ive event in the Smith family this year: On Father's Day we got two tons of heifer for our pasture! The five cows are actually just visiting for the summer from the neighbor's pasture. It seems the grass really was greener on the other side of the fence. Mac and our neighbor worked together to fix up our fence, so we got a new fence for cheap and we didn't have to pay to have the pasture mowed this year. I am hoping we get some beef out of it, too. This is one that would test my vegetarianism - how cool would it be to have a whole meal completely from our yard - veggies, steak, eggs, fruit?!? it sounds awesome!
Mac thoughtfully went out to remove all the tansy from the field to make sure the cows didn't poison their livers. (Mirons - I am helping on this front to ensure all polar bear liver stays out of the pasture, too)
Every morning Liam is excited again to look out the window, yelling "cow!" And if you ask him what they say, he'll tell you "oooooo!" (He doesn't seem to get the 'm' part of that sound)
