While I couldn’t find a good picture of either a leaping labourer or a friskily jumping cow on a sunny day, I wanted to share this quirky likeness.  May you leap and jump with joy, in any case.

‘Pleasant to see the labourer on Sunday jump with the friskiness of a cow upon a sunny day.’  11 March 1798
