Colorado... mmmm the smell...

After almost a year, we are visiting Colorado again. The Greeley area (where my parents live) is known for its cattle feedlots and therefore the smell of... manure. It reminded me of an Eden funny from a couple months ago.

Home in California we recently moved to the country. We are 7 miles from the closest... anything really. And a lot farther than that to the bank, post office, mall, grocery store, etc. We love it! There are alfalfa fields on 3 sides of our house.

One night the whole family took a walk down one of the dirt farm roads near our house and at the end was a HUGE pile of manure (like several semitruck loads) ready to be used as fertilizer I assume. Eden's first comment was, "It smells like Colorado." While we were laughing Malachi ran to touch the big pile of "mud" and Moses said, "Don't touch that. It's cow poop." Eden then said, "Wow that cow sure made A LOT of poop."
