These are a few of my favorite things....

I grew up (for a few years, anyway) on a dairy farm.


That meant LOTS of hard work and long hours.


Hours with what I consider the best animals in the world.


Even before we had the dairy, we had a milk cow.


We milked her by hand.


Twice a day.


Every day.


We had calves.


We also had beef cattle.


I liked those, too....they were really yummy!


But none measured up to my beautiful Holsteins.






Isn't this one gorgeous...in a sad sort of way?







I have a collection of cows.


Figurines.


Obviously.

I have this beautiful little lady.





If you came to my house, you'd also get to hear her.





Because she moos every hour.



I <3 my awesome cow clock that my Daddy gave me!







And this one? I LOVE it!! SO adoreable!!

On SO many fronts!

I have another one similar...

In storage.

Because I have no place to display my beauties.






The few I have out are in my kitchen.

I DO have a couple of stuffed little ladies.

They're gorgeous, too.

























Someday I'll have a place for all of my beautiful little ladies.

And then I'll get them all out...

And share their beauty with everyone.

Because you know I won't be able to resist their adorableness!!
