This is truly a cakes and cows post...the pink cake was Sara's and the orange,pink & green flowered cake was John's cousin.
Now as for the cow picture, that's John and our neighbor, Amy, delivering the bull to the "girls". If you look closely, the bull is in the livestock trailer. It's John's tradition to let the bull "back in" after the cows have had their calves. And since the cows are across the road this summer, Delmar (that's the bull's name; nobody else gets a name on the farm except the dog) was delivered via the livestock trailer.
Amy had heard John talk about "his tradition" so she wanted to be a part of it (she's an "old farm girl/wife"). Anyway, they let the bull out and he starts walking towards the others, stops, bellars a little, and the whole herd came running to meet him.
As I started to walk away, I turned around one last time, and there's the bull already "making a pass" at one of his ladies (if you get my drift!).
The only other news from the farm is the squirrels keep digging up my flowers. During last fall, they had planted walnuts in my planters. I know this because I found them when I planted my new spring flowers. I threw the walnuts out but, of course, the squirrels don't know this and they're looking for them.
My friend Janet gave me some cayenne pepper to put in my flower boxes so we'll see if that keeps them out. Then my Mom told me to put rocks in the boxes too; then the squirrels wouldn't bother them. We'll see!
