Coming home after school and swimming laps at the American Rec, these two kiddos were sitting outside our gate. The moment I stepped out of the taxi, they immediately started asking for "photo!"
How could you say no to this?
Before entering the gate, I also saw this:
The cow was actually in the gutter, but right before I was able to snap a picture, this man came to chase him out.
How unfortunate.
For me.
Not for the cow.
He was very glad to be out.
The poor thing was getting panicky tramping back and forth in the rain garbage gulley.
Mr. Happy Cow now has full privileged access to the sidewalk!
I wasn't the only one intrigued by the cow-rescue.
Almost just like loaves and fishes, when you pull out your camera and start taking pictures, the audience keeps multiplying. No leftovers, though. I did say almost.
Don't you love their expressions?!
Have I shown you the drawbridge to my castle?
(There are in fact two draw-bridges, but I never use the thin one. Would you?)
Yes, it is taken up and let down every morning.
The garbage in the moat is our modern defense mechanism to defer any unwanted guests!
But seriously, this is how we get from the gate to the street!
I am convinced Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was inspired by West African culture when he wrote the children's book, And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street.
This was a wildly entertaining read for my mid-workday. Thanks, Linds! It really doesn't look look like that cow is going to get to his feet on the sidewalk... what a photo!
