mother, mothering


We have two cows, always together. Both mother the other, biologically or socially. Sometimes they groom each other,  eyes all dreamy. This is Binny, who bellows every so often for grass or hay, for self, and mother, one or two years older.

A friend who calls herself 'sheep' emailed to say:
"I say hi to your cow Binny, he is very handsome and relaxed~ They always hang around your living place?"

and I reply:
Yes, the two cows are in a paddock beside the house, beyond is a creek, more paddocks, mountains, and then the sea, lots of sea
