So happiness is also:
Frogs, (last one of the season I promise). They die if they try to winter over in the garden pond, so when it starts getting cold we take them out and move them to other wet and watery places...however two of them are being very stubborn. This one was taken to the creek over by the cow barn a couple weeks ago, yesterday he was back. He is so determined. I mean just look at that chin! And there is another one that keeps ducking under whenever I walk near the pond....they just don't know what is good for them I guess.
And hearts on cows. I love hearts on cows, and it turns out both of Liz's aged cows, Mandy, the Holstein, and Heather the Jersey, have hearts on their shoulders.
(I also am made very, very happy by my SWD Valiant heifer, Bastille, but I could not get a decent photo of her no matter how I tried.)
And here....I am happy here. There is no "bloom where you're planted" about it. I love my home. I love the valley. The fields, especially when there are heifers grazing across them. I love the nights and the days and the sky and the land...happiness is being lucky enough to live some place that fits so well.
For more Sunday Stills
You nailed it. If you can find your happiness in your home and your family and all that surrounds you then you are a lucky person.
ReplyDeleteFred Great!!!
ReplyDeleteYou found happiness in the best of places. Great job.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI swear one day I'm coming to visit the farm! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell done... happiness is where you are if it's well done and with family you love. Even if they are not in the shots physically, you can see them in the farm. No family, no farm, no happiness... well you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose an Aussie sees those as hearts? ;-)
ReplyDeletecontentment with where you are and who you are with...priceless!
ReplyDeleteWell done, love the froggy pic! :-)
ReplyDeleteFrogs are stubborn? Who knew?
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
What a blessing to just be happy where you are, and such a lovely place to be happy in!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool frog. Hope you can get him to his winter digs. :)
ReplyDeleteI love my cows. They are definitely happiness...When they behave at least!
ReplyDeleteNice that you are kind to the wild creatures, as we are also. Home is where the heart, and happiness, is! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteOh absolutely....to live in a place where everywhere you look is A View! It's a blessing.
ReplyDeleteGood ideas! Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great view that's for sure. I like it when people have "bloomed" as you have.
ReplyDeleteSteffie, thanks, you are sure right about that
ReplyDeleteMatt, thanks guy, love you
colleen, thanks
Lisa, thanks, I really liked yours!
Dani, thanks, it is often pretty here...I am always grabbing the camera. lol
Sara, well said, thanks
AKA, hmmmmmm
Holly, took a while to get there but....thanks for visiting
Ed, can't resist the frogs, thanks. wish they were smart enough to move along in winter
Fc, finally got a look at the second one that has been leaping into the water whenever I go over to the pond...yep, it is one of the other ones we took away for their own good. Darn it. Thanks
Shirley, it is, thanks
Dibear, thanks, me too. as I said to FC, the other one is also one of the ones we have moved. Silly things
Paints, I know you do kiddo. Lets hope we can hang on to them for a while longer
FW, thanks, they give us so much enjoyment over the summer...I would let them winter in the pond, but even with a heater it is just too cold and they always die...and it is so hard to get them to stay out!
June, thanks, it is home and there is no place like it.
Tammy, thanks
Linda, it is easy to bloom here...it is a wonderful place, if a bit ragged around the edges this year. Thanks
What a great post!! I love the hearts on the cows.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are all great. I especially like the frog. I miss frogs. I've only seen a few in all the years I've lived here.
ReplyDeleteCTG Ponies, thanks! I find it neat that these two are her old ladies of the show ring and both have the hearts in almost the same spot, except on opposite shoulders. The jerseys all look a lot alike to me, but I can always pick Heather out from her descendants by the heart.
ReplyDeleteMoo, thanks! I would miss them a lot I think. Wish I could get these two to move along though.
What a beautiful world we live in. I love seeing your world. And I love your frogs. We don't have frogs so meeting yours is fun.
