National Cow Appreciation Day

stylized photo of a cow laying in the grass

Remember, Thursday Thoughts are my freebie. I get to write about anything that strikes my fancy and today, my friends…it’s cows! I love them!!

This is a sweatshirt I got at the Ben and Jerry’s Factory Tour. The artist who makes these iconic black and white cows used on the Ben and Jerry’s containers is Woody Jackson. His prints are pricey which is probably lucky for my family, or we might land ourselves in a Zillow Gone Wild episode about our cow-themed house.

More recently, Will and I have decided we will someday (probably never) get ourselves a highland cow and name her Herman.

Herman will need to remain a dream, for now. We will do our cow appreciation from afar. Wink.
