Folk wisdom has it that sitting cows means rain coming. These cows last Saturday had it exactly right. And they must be sitting again because it's raining again. After the hot and dry July we had, this is good news.

We have had a lot of sitting cows recently as well. I know it has not been the best of summers, but I just wonder whether it may be that cows are getting lazier.
ReplyDeleteI have always heard that, too...especially if they are sitting under a tree.
ReplyDeleteand here i thought they laid down when they got tied of standing......
ReplyDeletebut why did the cow cross the road?
bucolic bovine
I have always heard when the cows group close together that rain is coming. I think the cows might be more reliable than the weatherman :)
ReplyDeleteMy Mum always said that about cows. And I'm sure she was right :)
ReplyDeleteMind you, if I came upon a herd of cows sitting near my home it would mean I'd moved and nobody told me! (Would be a big improvement on the looters and rioters, though.)
Well if it was far north here, they'd be sitting for a long, long time! Very peaceful pastoral photograph tho.
ReplyDeleteGet out the umbrella! Cool shot.
ReplyDelete...this photo makes me smile. I love cows!
ReplyDeleteNow that I know, I'll pay more attention :)
