Counting Cows

I started a thought this morning about updating our cow count--really calf count, but cow count sounds more alliterative--and then my brain started playing. Since it doesn't happen that often, I have to indulge it when it does. Playing? Yep. My brain plays with words. I guess that's about all it has to work with.

So, the word of the day is count. It started like this: counting cows led me to think about countig sheep. zzz Then it went off to counting cou--as in counting scalps (You've got to be a western reader/writer to be familiar with that one.) Then, quickly, on to countdown, and no 'count, and counting for something, and on. Isn't English funny? Throw in Sesame Street so you can think of The Count while you are counting.

Ok....so back to the new calves. We have 17 now. We started off with one a day, or even two, then 5 yesterday. What do you think the chances are that we will multiply exponentially? 10 tomorrow, and 20 the next, then 40 until we reach 92?

Interesting thought, but I don't think I'll count on it.
