So this past weekend my friend from my floor invited me to her hometown for the weekend. She lives in a random little town in the middle of nowhere. Her closest neighbor was about a mile away, so literally in the middle of nowhere. Im from the cities so i don’t know farm life all that well so it was a new experience for me. We went to visit her friends and stuff and it was really fun but they all live on different types of farms which was just interesting to me. We went to her one friends farm for a bonfire, she lived on a dairy farm. Now i have never in my life seen a cow up close. THEY ARE SO BIG! it was scary. she invited me to go see all of them and there were so so so many cows. Then she said wanna milk one? This is when i felt like the stupid city girl because this was part of their everyday life and I had no idea how to milk a cow. She taught me and it wasn’t all that hard actually, for some reason i thought it was gonna be hard. Then while we were there two cows went into labor! we didn’t want to see any of that so we decided we would go eat. When we came back though we got to play with really really cute little calfs. it was a really fun weekend overall, and now i can say i milked a cow
