No memory lingers
Of mud's misery, of dry hay,
Nor of snow and ice.
Warm in the Eternal Now,
The cows graze, gorging on Spring.

Those lucky cows! :-)
I leafed through a picture gallery of the Obama's visit to North Carolina, thinking of you.
We only need a little warmth to melt away those cold memories. The cattle look content, and why wouldn't they be, grazing in such lush surroundings?
How far is Asheville from where you are?
I should only be so wise as those cows, living only in the "Eternal Now."
gorging on spring...love that line. i miss NC bbq....
It's wonderful for both the cattle and farmer to not have to put out hay now!I think the Obama's made a wonderful choice for their vacation! :)
Merisi - The cows really deserve this. The winter was grim.
Martin -- Asheville is about forty-five minutes away from our farm. We are twenty minutes away from the small town that is our county seat and where we do our grocery shopping, banking, post office, etc.
June -- It's an interesting concept, June. Because it IS always now -- but sometimes it's hard to focus on it.
Thank, Brian! 12 Bones bbq is some of the best -- though we do quite good 'cue here at the farm.
Carol! So glad you weren't blown away by one of those tornadoes rampaging around your neck of the woods!
how similar the meadows look here in switzerland and across the ocean at your place!
I saw some cows today and they looked very contented in the sunshine. I was too! Watching that Obama video I feel a bit sorry for them - fancy having all that media scrum around when you're on holiday.
What a wonderful composite of shots celebrating the entrenchment of spring.
I think the cows probably remember winter and that makes them even more grateful for spring.
Beautiful photos, as always!
