He Drains Me
Just the quiet anticipation of whatever the day might hold.
Sunday morning, our first stop was the animal husbandry side of the farm. Saturday had been more about horticulture, even though we hadn't managed to experience all of it due to limited time. Now we walked toward the animal shelters under a soft, clear sky. They gave us the chance to try milking cows, collecting the warm milk into metal buckets, and feeding the horses by hand. The animals were calm and used to people. I found myself smiling without thinking as I ran my hand along the side of a gentle horse. It was truly a beautiful and simple life, being closely involved, even briefly, in providing the food you could eat every day.
