weekending::cow pageant

we spend the weekend in the country, the town i grew up in and the place i have been familiar with. lots changed and much stayed the same. now it's our older boy who get's to show the calf of his cousin's choosing. together they parade the calf in the ring and recite a little poem.
lots of brown cows, lots of edelweis-shirt wearing folks. and of course some very serious farmes showing their best cows!
