the color of cows.....

ok, so last evening i made a fast trip to lexington..........up and back in under 2 hours.......for 3 really good hugs......yeah, i did unlock my eldest's car door sp he could get into his house....but i'd have driven all that way just for the hugs........the sun was setting at just the angle to make the cows in the fields almost glow.......and just what color were those etherial beasts?.....roan, terracotta......brick?.......none of these shades sound quite right......flat rather than glossy.......i cannot recall seing so many cows of any color until that drive....it was as if the horses had been sequestered in alternative fields so that the cows were on display for the length of 68 and 33..pastoral......like a continuous turner landscape......world cafe was on for the return trip.....good songs, pleasant scenery,...driving such a distance is what one does for one's loved ones......and the pleasure of a midsummer drive in twilight was priceless.......
