Cows experience spring fever too
Steve always tells, “I’m always thinking of you, Honey.”
Sometimes he’s actually telling the truth when he says that. He doesn’t have any ulterior motives.
For instance, Sunday afternoon, he was only thinking of me when he planned his day out. It was the first nice day in what seemed like decades, so we had to cram as many things to do outside as we could.
