Happy Thanksgiving And what a Thanksgiving it is too! My bovine friends are celebrating their journey across the mighty Atlantic on the MOOflower and landing at Bovine Rock. Can you believe it's been 381 years since they landed there? They left Europe to find freedom. Captain Herschal Holstein brought his followers all that way. The first year was hard on those pilgrims. Many were lost. But after that first winter the pilgims gathered with their native friends and celebrated giving thanks for what they had and their new found freedom. Chief Mighty Bull and Captain Herschal Holstein sat together and smoked the peace pipe cementing their friendsip. Chief Mighty Bull and Captain Herschal Holstein The MOOflower Bovine Boulder Cow balloon from one of the many Thanksgiving Parades We Give Thanks 'Tis the time of bundled sheaves Of oats, rye and wheat Of canning and corn husking And apples purely sweet We welcome our Thanksgiving As the sun's warmth slowly fades We have finished our yearly harvest With our sweat and sickle blades. Blessed by nature's goodness We give thanks to the ripe lands With peach cider, wine and herbs Wild barley and pecans We celebrate our bounty As we embrace the deep Fall And to our great Creator We give thanks above all. ~~Author Unknown~~ Little Indian with his buddy the Turkey This little bovine turkey came from Sitting Cow Greetings A great place to find all those bovine greetings.
