Mosaic Monday

Ring Ring Ring.. "Hello?".. "Hey, this is Philip.  I have a counter for you for Gillyweed."  That was the call I got a few weeks ago from my favorite frame maker, cabinet maker, and craftsman extraordinaire!!  So off we go to Philip's cow farm to see said future counter. 
Philip is a bus driver during the day....cow wrangler & auction junkie during the night and weekends.  If he can make a buck off of it.. he will buy it. 
Philip opening up the gate to one of 3 farms that he leases for his cows.
  
Brice shutting the gate.. don't let those cows out!
 
Petting the 2 day old calf.
 
Philip's barn.. I swear one huge gust of wind will knock this thing down.
 
Brice and Philip's helper, Zi, headed off on a tractor ride while we went to see the famous counter in the milking barn.
 
 
Okay.. I can work with that!
Philip (I did say craftsman extraordinaire, right?) will be able to fix this right up!!
 
 
Iron feet are the cherries on top.
Ah the Farm life.. I wonder if I could live that way???
NO!!

Happy Mosaic Monday to you.  This Mosaic is linked up to Little Red House.  All photos are from Pinterest and pictures from Philip's farm. 

Enjoy!!
