It was a cloudy summer day. I went on a walk to visit the cow boys and to collect greens for the bunnies. There's a short video at the end of the post.

Greenhouse work

I worked in the garden today. I cleared out the greenhouse, which still had last year's tomato plant remains in it, as much as I could. Then I planted 6 new cherry tomato plants that I bought yesterday. I've found tomatoes to be fun to grow last year, so I hope that I can keep these ones alive well enough.

Cow Activities

It was a beautiful day. There was a lot of cow activity. The herd of mom cows with their baby boys moved to a pasture not far from my garden. And my friends the big cow boys moved to the plum orchard (also not far from my garden, but in the other direction). There are 2 cow boy videos in this post also.

Hi! It's a halcyon post. I've been having trouble keeping this blog up to date since I lack energy. I'm gonna have to not do alt text at the moment, unfortunately, to be able to post here at all. There's also always my discord server, where I upload new pics almost daily.

Anyway, here's today's photos and a cow video. It was a cloudy, chilly day.

The dry, cool weather continues. I'm enjoying the spring vibes, but I need a lot of rest regardless. I visited the cows again on my walk, and got another video of them (see end of post).

It was a nice, not too warm spring day. We now have the first cherry and plum-cherry blossoms. I also visited my friends, the boys who are cows, and took photos and videos (video links at end of post).

January Evening

I didn't have much energy today. I went on a short walk past sunset.

The cow boys were all there. They were quiet and moved very slowly.

evening sky over the field, with large trees on the side. there are clouds near the horizon. the waxing crescent moon is visible, as well as the planet Venus

It was a frosty, clear day. I went on my walk past sunset.

some old wood logs with various types of fungal growth on them, and some lichen

post sunset sky over the light green field and trees by the edge of it. the clear sky is blue, yellow and orange with a hint of pink

The cow boys were all there, on the close side of the stream.

A pro tip for photographing cows: if you want them to lift their head and look at you for a photo, try singing or humming to them. Here's Bambi, listening to me humming "Die Gedanken sind frei". Cows love a classic antifascist tune.

The bright spot in the sky is the planet Venus.

a cluster of tree silhouettes against the evening sky. there are some larger oak trees and smaller more gnarly looking ones. the sky is dark blue, and pale peach and yellow coloured above the horizon. there is a single point of light in the sky next to an oak tree.

the large trees by the side of the fields seen from a distance, in the last light past sunset. the sky is even darker than the previous shot, and the light point that is the planet Venus is more visible.

I stayed out for way after dark, looking at the stars and planets, trying to memorize constellations.

It was getting dark so early that I barely made it outside in time before the light was gone. It was quite windy, but not too cold.

All 8 cow boys were there and grazing peacefully.

It was a mild day with some sun and some clouds. Sunsets have reached their earliest for the season, and will start getting later in the day again from now on. Since the solstice hasn't happened yet, daylight hours are still getting shorter, but only in the mornings, which honestly does not matter to me, lol.

post sunset sky over the field. it is dominated by dark blueish clouds that are covering the entire sky, except for a small light strip near the horizon.

I was pleased to find the cow boys on the close side of the stream pasture. They were looking super cute and fuzzy in their winter coats. I hadn't seen them close up in a while. Here's Mew, who is one of the fluffiest:

a boy who is a cow named Mew, grazing on his pasture. he has especially fluffy fur, with a cute tuft on his head.

Mew the cow boy grazing, side view, with lots of young trees in the background.

cow boys Mew to the right and Fernando to the left, grazing while facing each other.

All 8 of them were there and enjoying the grass that had previously been fenced off to them. I watched them until it got too dark.

Leonardo the cow boy grazing a but further away in a part of the pasture that has some old fallen trees and rougher vegetation.
