belties!

Yes, that's right, Belted Galloways, which are the best looking cows you ever saw. And see them, we did. This weekend was the annual Unveiling of the Baby Belties at Aldermere Farm in Rockport. It was a gorgeous day, everybody, young and old, came out and man, if that isn't the most picturesque farm in the land. What a great way to spend Saturday morning.

Besides enjoying the awesome cows, I love Aldermere Farm's example of great land stewardship. The land was carefully tended and developed for many years and now belongs to the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, which operates the working farm. When I drive between the pastures on the way from Rockport to Camden, I love knowing that I can count on that land remaining preserved (but not secluded behind walls) and worked forever.
