Not that I want you to think that I was randomly thinking of cows (although, sometimes . . . uh, well), there is a reason for my sharing. Besides the fact that it gives me the excuse to post a random cute calf photo. June is National Dairy Month! And I’ve put together a booklist of several books I’ve read (or intend to read) that pertain to life on a dairy farm or various guides for owning and running a small scale dairy herd (cows or goats) and what to do with what they produce--milk! I’ve also thrown in a few fiction titles that showcase life on a dairy farm (for better or for worse).

There is something about the smell of a cow or horse that makes me feel calm and peaceful-- like I've come home. My mom grew up in the Skagit Valley area and milked cows before going to school; my older sister owned horses (still does). There is that same peaceful feeling when I top that rise on I-5 northbound and travel down the gentle slope into dairyland-- (right around Mt. Vernon, is it? Haven't been north of Marysville in so long...)
