Roaming with buffalo

I know, I know, I posted about the local buffalo before. But this is a better photo, and truth be told, I get a huge kick out of driving home on a (what woulda been a horrible) a winter's day (up north) and seeing exotic animals grazing on green grass in a gorgeous field.

Where do the buffalo roam?

In Comer, Georgia. This ranch has a herd of cows, a herd of goats, and, unbelievably, a herd of buffalo. They are rotated around, so I never know which herd I get to look at as I drive by on my way to the grocery store in Hull. The (large) grocery store is about 15-20 minutes away.

Most folks around here say they want to drive to where the stores are rather than ruin the rural character by having the convenience of the stores nearby. Each of the six towns in Madison County have their version of the Dollar Store and a small grocery store, and a few restaurants and gas stations. Enough is close by so you can scoot to the corner and get milk when you run out.

I admit, I don't mind driving the 15-20 minutes to the big grocery store once a week, because I'd rather see buffalo than neon.
