Meet Marley. Isn’t she darling? Pop made the big announcement on Sunday that his little girl belongs to my little girls. To say that they were excited would be putting it very mildly. Josh told Ella that we needed to name her and without any hesitation she declared her Marley.
I’m sure those of you who don’t live in the “country” you are staring at your screen wondering why we would want a cow. I know. We will keep Marley and let her make lots of babies, who will either be sold or make more babies! Fortunately, nice cows fetch a pretty penny and we might be able to add some dollars to the college funds because of this pretty girl. These two couldn’t care less about that, though, they just wanted to know if she could come home with us! I’m guessing you know the answer to that.
Of course, we had to take a closer look.
Just for some perspective, in the middle of this grove of trees is the house and behind that is the barn. At the very right-hand edge of the photograph you can see a tiny red tree that Molly was hunting eggs beside in yesterday’s post.
This shot puts the house to our right and Marley to our left. It looks back towards the far pastures, a fishing pond and the creek. Out of the frame to the left is the big red hay barn.
And lest you think there were only a few of us trudging around the pastures in our Sunday best…
