The Well is Very Likely Dry

This "calf" - which is almost as big as its mother - was trying very hard to get a drink this morning, banging its head repeatedly against her udder. I rather think its efforts were in vain. She was being very patient about it, I must say.

In the background is the magnificent oak that graces this particular field.

Thank you ALL so much for the birthday celebration! I really appreciate all the hoopla. And of course it's always fun to amass a lot of hearts.  ;-)
