Saw the picture of Noah's new calf, and it made me think back. When I was a kid, my parents had a summer home, a little north of the city. In those days, we had bread men, and milk men, who made home deliveries. Our milkman, in the country, had his own dairy farm, a short distance from our country house. He brought us milk, a couple of times a week and, in the spring, a load of manure for the vegetable garden. My brother and I would sometimes walk over to the farm. The farmer would "let" us feed the cows. One time, my brother persuaded my parents to let him bring his best friend up for a couple of days. On the way home, we passed right by the farm. My brother got my father to stop, so he coul show his friend the animals. When we got there, the farmer told us that he had, in the first field, a cow that had given birth that morning. He asked us if we would go out and bring the calf into the barn. What an experience for a young "city-boy"!
