I prefer to not refer to it as 'a fantasy'.  Just one of those things I'd like to try.

You should get a cow, P.C.
 Fresh milk everyday.

Yes...a cow.  Why didn't I think of that.

  Fresh milk and some fresh meadow muffins for the garden.  I won't name it, because I'm sure Sawdust will see bar-b-cue written all over it.

It will be lovely.  Just watch where you step.

LM hate to mow lawns - when we moved to Calgary (and could afford alawn) she wanted to get a goat - so she wouldn't have to.  I convinced her it was a bad idea.

I'm not entirely sure she is kidding about the whole cow thing ....

I once shot a nice fresh - steamy meadow muffin with a .22 cal rifle... not something I'm proud of ... but  ... when your 16 and armed - what the hell.
So the interesting part of this is that the bullet evacuated (all over my pants probably) a perfect cylindar right into the center ... it was remarkable how perfect the shape was.... thought I'd share ... probably not too many of you had ever shot a cow pie before.

lol.....I wonder what would possess someone to shoot a meadow muffin. This reminds me of that old song......Cows with Guns.
