This reminds me of my childhood, when we had dairy cattle. I used to wear rubber boots which would get wet inside and a bit uncomfortable and hard to pull off. We relief milked and it was sometimes the unpredictable rainy season. Cows are stoic. It also brings back to me the milky smell of cows, the sound of their breath, and the sound of their 'cow pats' plopping in the water! The fence brings back memories of some of the fencing of our backyard, too. I can see it was still raining by the big plop(s) of rain on the lens. Now I'm raving...

That was a great memory, right down to the "plops" landing in the water. I didn't realize you were a farm girl.
