SOME OF My COW COLLECTION..and more....

I've collected a few cows...I like all kinds of farm animals..

I think I have every kind of farm animals...

Cows, horses, chickens, pigs, sheep, ducks,

and turkeys just to name a few....

Some are toys and some are whimsey but all to me

are just plain cute...isn't that what collecting all about...

Having fun with gathering so much fun shopping..

Looking for that item that will go with your collections...

Once I start collecting I usually have to say...Now Stop That!

I do have way too much stuff...Down on the Farm...

I chose my Cows today....to show in a few pictures

That I have around in my home...I do have cows that

come to the fence across the Farm to Market Road...

and then there are Black Cows that come up to my back fence

gate...They are not mine, they belong to my neighbors...

I let them come in to eat to help me mow my Back 40........

there is a lot of mooing going on around my home place...

Now that the mother cows are calling the babies calves...

And then Mr Bull has too put lots of his bellowing in....and

then the Bull across the road has to bellow back a few times...

At night when I sit on my porch in my rocker

Those bulls can make your hair stand up...

They do make lots of different sounds bellowing

at one another...Who the best Bull on the block?...

Sometimes they get into a big fight to see who best...

I too love to watch the calves running and playing.....

It reminds of the times that I had my own cows....

But now I have only small animals...dogs and cats...

These cows I can look at and enjoy and don't have to feed....

The two pictures of the cows with all the toy cows and

pigs was a Mama Cow we had in the Late 1940's

and that a picture of her calf...This Mama cow gave us our

milk and my mother made our butter from the cream...

to put on table....Lots of times I helped her turn the

handle to make the butter....and sometimes

she would save cream to make whipping cream for

the fresh Strawberry that my dad grew in the garden

and OH soooooooo....yummy..........and good for you...

I remember so well my daddy milking that cow..

also the mama cat bringing her kittens to get my

daddy to give them a little milk too...My dad

always shared a little of that sweet milk........

Times have sure change and very few people have

a milk cow at the home anymore...back then you didn't

have to live in the country to have a cow...It was

kept in most backyards along with the chickens...

For fresh eggs...my dad kept our family well fed

with a wonderful garden and lots good fruits ...

That picture of that Big old pig or hog...

I got at an Antique shop...I know that it was one big pig..

Enjoy my Cow Collection....at my home...

I have lots more and I think maybe I put a picture in twice..

Just like an old great-granny.....can't see too good....

Thanks for stopping to see me...Down on the Farm...

Start to fall.....I am looking forward to
The leaves changing colors.....that

They stay sometimes over an hour
So much fun Down On The Farm

so special...I don't know what I did
to get that color...and snow so pretty!




















I painted this about 30 years ago on an
old wood shingle. It was painted in oils




















I did not know how to paint and still don't but I sure had fun trying too..I love old homes and barns. I too have a great love for log cabins and always like living
