A year ago
I finished a book
in which a boy loves a cow
not knowing that soon
my granddaughter would
love cows, too.
Cows.
Mm.

Oh!! Cow & Girl, what a lucky girl she is to be living this good country life! I wanted to tell you that I just did a post on "The Ideal Bookshelf". Even though Walk Two Moons & The Unfinished Angel weren't in my photo, they are 2 of the most important books that I've read...
ReplyDeleteLove that post of yours. xx
DeleteCows. Liam (my seven year old) went through a phase that cows were all he talked about. He called them "cowies" and whenever we would drive anywhere he'd shout when he saw them. In rural Illinois, that was often. Soft spot in my heart for those beautiful animals.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww. xx
DeleteLes vaches ont ce regard attendrissant qu'il est bien difficile de ne pas aimer. Je comprends aisément votre petite-fille.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour l'ensemble de vos photos, certaines sont même très émouvantes.
Gros bisous à vous.
Gros bisous to you aussi.
DeleteAmazing - and I need this book. Looking forward to more info :).
ReplyDeleteHave you two seen the picture book CLANCY THE COURAGEOUS COW? It is about Belted Galloways.
ReplyDeleteNo, but thanks mucho for the alert -- I'll check it out!
DeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteYou can add me on the list of people who love cows! I grew up on a farm were there were cows, and I always loved them. Living in a city now, I must say that I miss them sometimes.. Do you know that one of the most famous XIXth century's french writers is Emile ZOLA ?!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know -- AND Zola is also the name of the main character in THE UNFINISHED ANGEL ! xx
Deletemooving shots.
ReplyDeleteAren't their eyes gorgeous?
ReplyDeleteDo you know the lovely children's story about a Dutch cow called Hendrika who travels on a boat in a canal?
