Denim Jacket

I had a denim jacket. I loved my denim jacket. It always gave my outfit an added flare of "farm" when I wore it.

We have a friend at church that air brushes! So we asked him if he would be willing to air brush a picture of our cow Porky on the back of my denim jacket. He agreed and for payment we will be barter things with him (example: eggs).

So I loved my denim jacket but now . . . . . I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my jacket!!! And it's MUCH more "farmish" now than it ever was. Here's why!
We e-mailed this picture to our friend
. . . . . .


. . . . . . . and he did this!!!!
    He is very gifted at what he does. It looks JUST like her!!!!! This picture does his work no justice. It's much better in person. Don't you just love the words Farm describe me to a T.

Porkchop was our very first cow and we traveled from MN all the way to northern Missouri to get her (long story). BUT now that we found out that she is NOT pregnant she will be replaced this spring with our new heifer (Who is due to give birth ANY day now). In other words we're going to take Porky to the butcher =( She's been such an awesome cow that it will be hard. I think I'm more attached to her than any other animal that we've had on our farm. Even more so than our dog that got hit by a car a few years ago!!

So this way we will always remember our very first milk cow. She was very nice to us as we learned how to milk and how to halter train her among other firsts. She is and always be our best milk cow!!!!!!

    Saying goodbye to a trusted animal that has given you so much is so hard....been there too. This is a great way to remember her by!

  2. How cool!! He is definitely gifted.

    We had to sell our milk cow recently, so I know how you feel. She was the sweetest thing ever. :) But what a great way to always have her 'with' you! ;)
