When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: This reminds me of what it looks like in Spring mud season when the snow is gone and the streams run fast and deep. That barn is picture perfect. I hope it is red!
Winnie Nielsen says: The facial markings on these miniature Jersey’s are beautiful. I love how the light hair around the eyes and nose are just the right touch to make them stand out.
calle says: I want a milk cow, just not the right time. Love fresh cultured butter, home made sour cream and kifer. Oh the joys of a furball that provides raw fresh milk! Ah dreaming.
That’s the sweetest baby cow! My favorite picture you’ve posted has to be her running through the chickens. I think she’s going to have to become a painting… soon!
Winnie Nielsen says: This looks like a French painting of the rural countryside to me. It looks romantic but don’t you know it was so much hard work doing laundry!
Oh how I long for a warm spring day to hang out my wash! This wretchedly cold and snowy winter we have had ( and are still enduring) makes me miss it all the more. Our last snowstorm here the snow drifted up to the wash line in height. That’s 6 feet!
Karlyne says: I’m reading The Grapes of Wrath, and that looks like Ma Joad in the background. Lovely!
Nancy says: I am waiting, so impatiently, for snow and ice and freezing temperatures too be gone! During the warmer weather my dryer is rarely used, and my clothesline is weighted down. Love spending the time out of doors doing chores the ‘older’ way: saves energy, provides exercise, and the clothes and linens smell soooo good!

Those spice containers are the best. Are they originals or vintage cans with vintage labels applied for effect? Either way, they make a very kitchen perfect display!
