This is part two of a three part series on rural Annapolis Valley - Cows.

"We're not sure what you're doing - but we'll be keeping an eye on you - just in case you do something more interesting than what's going on here. Things are pretty hot and slow around here, and we've already had our naps for the day. Buster here is ahead on the fly kill score and we're just taking a break. We need to break out and do something more radical. "


"My grandpa used to come this way to the watering hole and so this is the way I come, and this is the way we'll go." 


"I'm coming up to see you. Just be careful I don't roll over on you cause I would squash your measly being into a pancake..."


"Aren't you going to come up and follow me over behind the tree. It's cooler over there and there might be some sweet corn for us. We can go for  swim to cool off too, except Momma won't let me go by myself because I might get lost." 


"So the main thing is that most people think we live a pretty boring life - but actually we have more to do than the Whitehouse staff, just to keep their head above water. We just spend a little more time considering the options and usually take more of the high road - because the low road is pretty dry this time of year and we prefer to get down and muddy - just to cool off and get rid of these pesky flies - which by the way are much less bothersome than that pesky media mob down there in Washington. Isn't that right little buddy - Oh can you get that little bug just over a touch.. he's been chewing on me and I can't quite reach him?"


"Oh darn, I can't quite remember what I did with my knitting. I know I had it earlier this morning before the milker started in on me. I had to hide it quickly so he doesn't catch on to what we do with our time off. Oh well, it'll come to me after a bit, I just have to consider all the possibilities, and that makes me tired."


"Well, I figure it's this way. Donald will just keep hiring and firing people until everyone figures out that working for him is the biggest career ending move imagineable - and then they'll let him just twitter away on all discussion rather than thinking things through. Now, if he can just find a way to hire all of the press corps, individually - just to drive them to drink and get them off his back and front. And don't get me wrong, and let me be clear about this - we don't want him up here when he retires to the farm - at least not this farm anyway - we have strict immigration policies here on this farm and good fences to keep out the undesirables ..."  


"Come on you guys. We better get there before Leroy drains the pond. I'm a mite thirsty and he's been there a bit too long. Good thing we had that big rain the other night. It just may get us through the summer. Need lots of water to make great milk for all the kiddies."
