Day 2:
that one’ll make a lovely black and white
leather purse, I thought
of the bull grazing inches from my
bedroom window at midnight
on the Funny Farm
when our neighbor’s cows got loose
then I felt guilty
for thinking such a thought
next morning, my husband
called Wayne
turns out
another bull had gotten
into Wayne’s pasture
and their fighting
brought down the whole backside
of the fence bordering our farms
his entire herd was wandering
in the morning, cow poop
was everywhere
it’s just fertilizer
my husband reasoned
pointing to a
rounded one
the size of a dinner plate
that one’ll make a perfect
cow patty
Here are the two bulls ~ there were 8-10 cows in our front yard that night!

Oh my gosh! Thank you for this little slice of farm life. I always had wanted to live on a farm! Have you read the book The Dirty Life? I think you’d like it!

Actually I am thinking it’s on my shelf in the reading room. My door swelled shut and I have to get my husband to help me get in there but I think I have it – I can see the cover/ the side of a barn with the author, right?

Oh, wow! I’m so glad you got pictures. And the idea that you thought of the purse cracked me up. It does have a beautiful hide, though, to be sure. I love having to wait to finish…
