Who Let the Cows Out and Other Critters


Who Let the Cows Out?

 


How now, brown cow?


Welcome to 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS





What the day has to offer.

"As patches of sunlight fall in an effervescent overcast

they shift ever so lightly through cotton candy clouds.

At no particular point of time 

morning sunlight slips by

illuminating our stroll and inviting us to wander through

soaking in every moment before the wind seals up the gap,

and shadows fall as our winds speed up within our journey."


Not to forget my other critters.



Getting to know you.



Kitty on fluff.



Wisconsin I've found has much to do about cows.




Meet Buffy the Cow from Austin, Minnesota

"It's all in the mind." George Harrison 







From stage left enters a pooch on a mission.




Snow Girl Misty. Ahh a simple roll in the fluffy snow!


Dogs live simply and earnestly and are our biggest fans through life.




Eating snow. What could be better?


As their humans we live a bit more of a complex life.  Seems the winter blues have a way of bringing hygge to life, or so it does in my realm.




"Walk in the direction where your peace is found." Steve Aitchison

Being one with the moment. Key.


An essential ingredient to hygge (to give courage, comfort and joy) is the boundary that marks a place or delineates a moment - a fence, a circle of cushions or a stolen half hour." Louisa Thomsen Brits, from The Book of Hygge- the Danish Art of Living Well





"Don't worry I've got your back."


"Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. Everything exists, everything is true, and the earth is only a little dust under our feet." W. B. Yeats




Snow dog Rusty!


"Material goods rarely alter our levels of happiness, unlike emotional experience. Having can never replace being." Ilsa Crawford


 


That look you get when you know there's another snowbank waiting just for you!



"Keep looking up, that's the secret of life." Snoopy


Having can never replace being.


Thanks for stopping by and take good care of you.

Hi Karen,

Finding your blog puts a smile on my face. What a pleasure it is looking through your photos, captions, and commentary. The style and format is superior. I enjoyed all the critter photos and thank you for linking up with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters. I especially like the little bits of wisdom, for example, “’Walk in the direction where your peace is found.’ Steve Aitchison. Being one with the moment. Key.” That is perfection.

I am late submitting this comment. You left a kind comment on my blog a couple of weeks ago after discovering me via Saturday’s Critters. My policy is to always return a kind comment but I’m often slow moving around social media. So, thank you for your comment and thanks for sharing your blog. I’ll be keeping an eye on 21 Wits. :-)

John
