Darwin said...: I must say that it appears to me it's not so much a matter of the size of the calf, it's the size of the pelvis that matters.

(I don't know if it's relevant, or merely chance, but the word verification to post this comments is "proids".); December 7, 2009 at 7:31 PM
BettyDuffy said...: Big pelvis, big baby, however you slice it, proids are bound to be the outcome.; December 7, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Charlotte (Matilda) said...: We have some Belties that live in our area. My kids call them Oreo cows. Just popped over from Conversion Diary. Nice to meet you!; December 9, 2009 at 8:49 PM

Madonna Del Cardellino

Thinking kills me.

She contemplates the Cloister

She goes to the fancy dress ball as Juliet.

She finds some consolation in her mirror

She finds that exercise does not improve her spirits.

She decides to die in spite of Dr. Bottles

She goes into colors

She is disturbed by a vision which appears to be herself

She longs for seclusion and decides to leave town for a milder climate.

She looks for relief among some of the old ones.

Some think she has remained in retirement too long, Others are surprised she is about so soon.

She is the subject of more hostile criticism

And here, winning new friends and not losing the old ones, we leave her.
