Last night I mentioned that we received a special package in the mail yesterday, addressed to "The Cows".
Christina sent a birthday package for Dixie Cup, and today I was able to host a little celebration on the farm with the goodies from Christina and her Mom.
Here's the banner and handmade card Christina made, hanging proudly on the side of our barn, over where Dixie and Cup are in the side barnyard.
Cow Crossing! Moo!!
It's perfect! I think they are both a great addition to the barn!
Christina also sent along some homemade Cow Cookies, which she says were made with carrots, oats, soy butter, and maple syrup. They were a HIT!
Dixie and Cup enjoyed their cookies , and even shared them with the other cows and donkeys as well!
Here's a photo of Honey the hen enjoying some of the left over crumbs.
Thanks again, Christina! Your birthday package was a hit!
The poster and card are fantastic!! Christina did an awesome job! Those cookies sound good to me, LOL.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
HUGS.

What fantastic artwork! I'd love a poster just like it that says "Tax Lawyer Crossing!" I wonder if Christina would take a commission! :) I mean seriously, wouldn't you want to be warned of a tax lawyer crossing! LOL! Mary
