Where have you found refuge during pandemic times? Audrey Gay Rodgers writes about her farm and her cows.

My refuge during COVID…

…has been in the barn; here at my farm spring has indeed sprung! Grass is growing. Cows and grazing and feeding and twice a day milking give my days a ‘normal’ feel.

Normalcy in daily routines

Normalcy in the comforting sounds of the pulsation of milkers, of calves suckling their bottles

Normalcy in the spring grassy smell of manure

Normalcy in the taste of spring milk

 

Oh, to be a cow…
