You've got a friend

James Taylor sings a song called, "You've got a friend" that is a nice tune and a nice message about friendship.  Here are the lyrics to the song:

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah,
you've got a friend.

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow,
keep your head together and call my name out loud.
Soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them,
oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah,
you've got a friend. You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.

You kind of can't help but sing along, huh?  Well, Annie (Nellie's little kid) has become a fried to Tricia when she's milking Rosie our Jersey Cow and Nellie, Annie's mama.  She'll come running (like the song says) and hop up on the milking stool.

Can you spare a little space on your stool, ma'am?

Then to ensure that she's getting attention, she'll hop down and put her feet on Tricia as if to say, "Look at me."

Hellooo!

Now, Tricia likes Annie, but there's work to be done, so Tricia goes right on milking.  Annie will then start nibbling on Tricia's arm!

You're not gonna ignore me!

When Tricia is finished milking Rosie, she moves over to milk Nellie.  After Nellie is in her milking stanchion, Annie will jump up on the stanchion with her mama and pretty much get in the way.


Look at me when I'm talking to you.

Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall.  All you've got to do is call.  And I'll be there, yeah yeah.  You've got a Friend.   

You've got a friend, Tricia
