looking at the sky through the trees

it is a mild autumn day and all signs that snow had fallen has gone away. most of the trees are bare except for the beautiful large oak trees on the farm. the birds are out eating the berries that are no longer hidden by foliage, cardinals, blue jays, robins and a bird who's name is unknown to me is singing, perhaps calling for the one it wants to love. as i was hanging my laundry to dry the big oak leaves swayed in the wind and i could not help but stare up at the sky through the trees, is this what  birds feel like, oh to be a bird.

...and then there was three more

sunday morning was not all about snow, it was also about the arrival of three new cows. they are bred and will be expecting in february. they are very different than clarabelle who is a jersey cow, they are herefords. they were placed in a separate pasture temporarily and clarabelle has been talking to them all day. it is amazing how the farm changes with the arrival of every new animal. i took a deep breath as i took it all in, the trees, the sun resting on isabella's face( one of the hereford) and the responsibility.
