		<description><![CDATA[The lack of updates here at The Land of Moo might lead one to believe I&#8217;ve been wallowing in grief over the demise of my beloved old Blue.  Not so.  He is missed, of course, but we&#8217;re pragmatic here on the farm about such things.  Life&#8217;s circle continues.  There are hatchlings to be nurtured, pregnancies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
On rare mornings a mist spills evenly across the  land to soften the sun&#8217;s rays.  On these mornings, the heavy dew would soak you to the waist if you wandered across that ungrazed pasture.
In the stillness, you hear the familiar sounds of birds twittering from hidden perches &#8211;  meadowlarks, red-winged blackbirds, an indigo bunting.  Cows moo in the distance. Someone&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Disposing of old, rusty barbed wire can be a problem.    If you have an old farm with weathered fences and decades-old wire, it&#8217;s something that must be figured out.

Yard art wouldn&#8217;t have been my first thought, but who am I to criticize someone who had the patience and fortitude to create this big ball of [...]]]></description>

A sunny day after so much rain, after so many gray days, is a gift that shouldn&#8217;t be wasted.   A dozen chores awaited, but so did the sunshine.  There were skies to watch, clouds to study, reflections to ponder.    So I played hooky for a while in the back pasture.

I watched feathers and leaves float on [...]]]></description>

Mother Nature apparently thinks we haven&#8217;t had enough rain lately, so she sent us more.   Day two of the driveway flooding scoured knee-deep holes.  Another night-time storm brought more flash flooding.  This time the big garden was well swept, and floodwaters gushed into the greenhouse through an open door.   About half the potted seedlings are salvageable, though some are pretty battered.  Flats [...]]]></description>

I really miss this clothesline.  The Genius Husband built this [...]]]></description>

Sometimes the view out the truck window seems a little off kilter.

Other times, it&#8217;s so enticing I&#8217;m tempted to park the truck by the ditch, slip through the fence, and walk over the hill just to see what&#8217;s on the other side.   There could be more wildflowers, a picturesque lake, or . . . a [...]]]></description>

Farm chores are messier on rainy days.  There&#8217;s the mud.  There&#8217;s the wet underbrush you have to run through and the rising creek you wade through while chasing escaped calves back through the hole in the fence.  You get soaked to the knees if you&#8217;re lucky, and to the waist if you&#8217;re not.  Eight or ten hours later, [...]]]></description>

Sometimes, on busy days in busy weeks, when there&#8217;s too much to do and too much bad news, it&#8217;s soothing to just pull off the road and take a moment to look at the sky.
Focus first on the large, cottony clouds as they drift across the blue background, reshaping themselves into new forms.    Follow the [...]]]></description>
