a beautiful Sunday drive...

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

 It was such a beautiful day here, it was a perfect 68 degrees, the sun was shining...and the scenery on the way to my Mom & Dad's house was more beautiful than ever! I just could not resist showing you the beautiful area where they live...it is just so peaceful. I was laying in the hammock for a while and all I could hear was the wind and the cows down the road mooing every once in a while. {sigh...such sweet silence I miss now that I live with neighbors all around me...}

During my drive, I pass so many beautiful red barns...

and white ones, too...this is on of my favs, it is HUGE...I have always thought I should live here and make this barn into my shop. Isn't that big white area in the front calling for a big sign that says "urban farmgirl'? Someday...

I drive this path through the country a couple times a month. Without fail, when I pass this farm this doorway ALWAYS has a rooster or a horse perfectly posed in the doorway. I swear they know I am coming...

And then there are the calves...

I just can resist them...I mean look at those faces! How can you not want to pull over and take their picture? They were all out in the pasture grazing and as soon as I got out of my truck they ran right over to the fence. Cows always love me for some reason. They must know I love them back. They are such beautiful creatures...

Speaking of cows...I pass a LOT of farms with cattle on my trip...but these cows I always refer to as the Lottery cows, because they have got to be the luckiest cows on Earth. I mean seriously, look where they get to live! Waaaaaaay down there with a beautiful pond that is all their own and winding roads...{sigh...I want to live down there!}

They belong to that gorgeous red farm across rolling hills with ponds and lots of yummy grass for grazing. Lucky cows. 

There were a couple rebel cows that separated themselves from the herd and were way at the top of the hill by the road...look at the scenery behind them! Love....

I am so lucky to have such a beautiful place to visit. The view from my parent's kitchen window is just so beautiful...eagles fly over the hills, farmland as far as the eye can see. It is such a magical corner of the world. It was a perfect day in a perfectly pretty place. 

Hoping you all had a wonderful day, too!

Ok, back to work for me! I have a lot of furniture to paint today! 24 days until I have to load my trucks for my first show of the year! Ahhhh! I have no idea how I am going to get it all done! Anyone want to come help?! Hahahaha!
