feeding the cows...

Like most of my long-term country compatriots - I'm a multi-tasking, waste-not/want -not sort of a girl... so this weekend when it came to cleaning up the orchard windfall, I was keen to get the kids involved - they were understandably less enthused... until we all figured out that the cows in the neighbouring paddock were MAD for apples...



so EJ was suddenly keen to throw the old fruit over the fence...




to an appreciative audience...




a couple of the older girls knew when they were onto a good thing





and the smarter young ones soon started to get in on the act - showing how skills are passed from one generation to the next - in cows and in people...



a fun time was had by all - and all the spent fruit was cleaned up and put to very good use... a win-win situation
