THE BACK FORTY IN MY MIND

In the backyard of my dreams, this is who greets me. She's very friendly and chews happily and gives me milk to make cheese. She also likes to be petted and follows me around like a puppy. She is named Fawn Eyes, after the pet cow on the farm I worked on when I was 13. The backyard has a big garden full of vegetables, and orchard with apples and pears, and also this field:

This is the entrance into my imaginary backyard. We only open the huge part for big carts and horses, or for giants.

You can come visit if you want.

p.s. the prototype for my backyard is Cowbridge, in case you are a stickler for details and accuracy.
