corn & cows

For almost 50 years I had lived in a neighborhood. 

Grew up in Monona, Wisconsin...raised a family in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin -- both in a neighborhood with close, kind neighbors.

I was always used to looking out my window at a neighbor's home.

So, now it still takes me back when I look out my window at new sights:  corn & cows.  The cows are somewhat rare -- fields need to be harvested or low, and neighbor Tom's cows need to be in just the right part of the pasture.  But it has happened --- looked out the window, and there is a cow.

Meadowview Farm used to be a dairy farm...with about 25 cows. 

The stanchions still stand in the barn with the water cups at the ready. 

But now, the only cows in residence live on a shelf that looks out to the barn. 

A shelf created as an alter to the family that wakes at dawn & ends their day with a dairy herd.  

Cows & corn -- feels as if it has always been....
