The Scottish Highland Cattle enjoy a treat on a warm June afternoon.

The herd is now five cows: 2 female and 3 young ones. I guess the bull fathered the dead or stillborn calf before he left, hopefully for greener pastures. I'm also guessing that at least one of the two youngsters are male. Jewel, of course is female. I love it when she recognizes me, bleats and comes running. How often is someone truly glad to see you? Yesterday they had strawberry stems, asparagus stems, lettuce, parsley, and a special Easter treat of whole wheat rolls, 99 cents a package at Roche Brothers. For a while the oldest youngster was always off by himself, but yesterday he, too, was with the herd. The big females have immense pale tongues that accepted the rolls directly from by hand. Wisely, I fed them the vegetables first, because the bread turned out to be a Big Treat. I'm wondering if the 2nd cow will deliver a calf, but since she had one in August (of all times!) I'm thinking she will not. It is nice to have something to think about besides technology.
