#110/365 Paintings

I like my salad but I couldn’t eat greens for 8 hours a day like cows do. Still, is there any better feeling than hanging out near cows on a sunny afternoon watching them peacefully chew grass? They seem to understand that every thing good in life is embedded in a blade of green grass.

No wonder this group of jazz musicians knew how to pick their audience. Note, at the end of the video how jealous the people are watching this. I would have been too!

* Thank you Dave for sending this wonderful video in the spirit of cow painting month.

Love this–We have fresh manure spread and with the misty rains the grass is beginning to green and will be ready soon for the munching and dancing of the cows.
