Cows greeted us and laughed

Les vaches nous saluaient et riaient
Cows greeted us and laughed

English version below the picture

 Un troupeau de vaches était là, dans une prairie près de la petite route où nous marchions. Quand elles nous ont vus, elles se sont précipitées à la clôture pour nous accueillir et elles éclatèrent de rire dans un bruyant concert.
 Nous allions à un cimetière et vous pouvez le deviner nous n’étions pas d’humeur à nous réjouir! Cependant ce concert de rires nous rendit plus légers.
  Je pensais que ce petit événement n’avait aucune importance, mais cependant, il était plutôt rare et j’ai décidé de prendre une photo. Avez-vous déjà vu une vache qui rit ? Sur la photo on voit la vache star qui rit à gorge déployée et une autre sur la gauche épuisée tant elle a ri.
 Par la suite en parlant de cela avec la famille dans ce village, je me demandais si elles riaient vraiment ou si elles ont crié parce qu’elles avaient faim et étaient en attente de la nourriture apportée par l’agriculteur en supplément de l’herbe des pâturages. Je préfère penser que les vaches se mirent à rire.

  Et ma femme d’ajouter : «  Bien sûr elles sont venues et ont crié ou ri parce que tu leur a parlé !! »

  Parlerais-je « vache » ?   🙂

Laughing cows 🙂 Vaches riant ! 🙂

A herd of cows was there,  in a meadow by the small road where we were walking . When they saw us they rushed to the fence to greet us and  they bursted out laughing in a noisy concert .

 We were going to a cemetery and you can guess we were not in the mood to rejoice  ! However this concert of laughters made us lighter.

  I thought this small event had not any  importance but however it was rather rare and I decided to take a picture. Do you ever seen a laughing cow ? On the picture we see the  star cow that is roaring with laugher and another on the left exhausted so much she laughed

 Afterward speaking of that with family in this village I was wondering if they laughed really or if they shouted because they were hungry and were waiting for the food brought by the farmer  in supplement of the grass of the grazing . I prefer to think the cows laughed

And my wife to add: “of course they came and shouted or laughed, as you want,  because you were talking to them “

Would I  speak ” cow  language ” ?   🙂

I cannot let this November 11 pass without the evokation of the memory of the end of the World War I ( 1914- 1918). This war has been  a true butchery . 10 millions soldiers have been killed . The fear and the mud, the cold and the illnesses were in the trenches, offering the hideous face of the war and the death . My area in Northern France ( Flanders, Somme, North, Aisne and the East of France such Verdun ) is covered of military graves of all nations in a lot of cemeteries ;  All of those soldiers killed were young . Europe lost its children .. Europe was definitively weakened . The Democraties finally won in 1918 with the arrival in 1917 of the American army which has been decisive . Germany asked the cease fire that has been signed in Compiègne on the 11 th of November 1918 . We have to be grateful to those people who offered their life for their country and freedom .
This day is celebrated under the name of Veteran Day or in France Armistice Day. This morning I re- read the history of the war I on Wikipedia . Here is the link in English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I
