Cows making themselves at home

While I promised Fred and Bessei that I would not confine them to the house, they weather the last few days has kept them indoors. They are not used to the cool spring temps we have here, so they are pretty happy to have spent the last couple days getting used to being inside again and finding their way around a new house. They found the butter in NY to be just as delicious as it was at home.And the popcorn is also very tasty.They are developing a nice relationship with Farmer Fred who seems to be equally glad to spend time with them. [though to be fair FF seems this happy about everything] Maud has also become a close friend. Bessie was a bit nervous about Maud at first, thinking that Fred would find her attractive, but Fred has assured Bessie that while Maud is a nice cow, she has none of Bessie’s adventurous spirit, so his affections remain firmly with his first love.After the experience of having to hitch rides with strangers, Fred seemed to think that they should buy some kind of vehicle. He was interested in something that had the capacity to haul sufficient quantities of butter and popcorn to supply an extended journey.They settled on this model and have been tooling around the house in it ever since.They have agreed to an interview, but so far I haven’t been able to pin them down long enough to get anywhere with that. The truck purchase has me a bit concerned, since it seems to indicate a desire for more travel. Flea is of course concerned that they not be out of touch again and I don’t blame her. For now though, I think they are staying put.
