Colored Breeds Show



Down around the wagon by the gate at evening milking time.
Kinda like rush hour country style.

Starts in ten minutes. I am not there.

Maybe I can make the Holstein show tonight. That would be sweet as a certain dearly-loved family member usually shows up and I'd love to see him.

At least chores are done and we finally have grain.

And if you are looking to buy a beautiful children's book, I would love to send some business the way of the illustrator of this one. (You can see how fantastic her art is here)

It's a long story, but she brought our grain at 3 this AMand it wasn't exactly a good moment for her. Anyone that talented deserves support. And it sure goes to show you never know. Who would expect that a grain truck driver, incidentally a lovely and very sweet young lady, would be a published children's book illustrator too?

  3. Nita, thanks, it is a bit blurry because I was in a hurry and had to stand on tip toe on a step between the doors to get it, but it was such a lovey evening and the cows looked pretty gathering up at the gate to come in for milking

    Anne, I think you might enjoy it. She was telling me the plot while we were unloading grain and it sounds like fun. Wish I had known about it sooner as I would have purchased it for a baby shower gift for a very literary mom to be in our family.
