Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 22, 2010

Oh, the humanity! Or bovinery!

So THAT’S where the beef is.

Moooooooove.

PIUS BOVINE!!

She did ask her husband to surprise her on her birthday.

Hi there, my name is Clarabelle. Do you have any extra hay?

It wants to Mooove in.

At least she got the better end.

Even though it isn’t dairy country maybe the cow thought she heard Wisconsin “Cheese” language being spoken inside….

“Havarti” doing?…..”Gouda”, thank you…

Cynthia, be a good hostess and offer your guest a cup of tea and some hay.

A brand new Christmas card from Stelbel!!

StelBel, you must be feeling at least a little bit better if you can get back to doing these great new cards.

A contented cow is a happy cow.

And a very Merry Christmas to you!

And to all a good dog!

Covid 19 has robbed @StillTheBelle of her purpliness.

Sad.

Good morning, Ballardeers! Q Date: 284.98574.8

I wonder…Is Cynthia the cow or the homeowner?

A brandy-new SPARKLIE Christmas wish!

AAAnnd for those of us that can’t afford the 12 days of Christmas, here’s the Scottish 13 Days of Yule.

The King sent his Lady on the first Yule day

A papingo-aye. [? parrot or peacock]

Who learns my carol and carries it away.

The King sent his lady on the second Yule day

Two partridges and a papingo-aye, &c.

Third day – Three plovers

Fourth day – A goose that was grey

Fifth day – Three starlings

Sixth day – Three gold spinks

Seventh day – A bull that was brown

Eighth day – Three ducks a-merry laying

Ninth day – Three swans a-merry swimming

Tenth day – an Arabian baboon

Eleventh day – Three hinds a-merry dancing

Twelfth day – Two maids a-merry dancing

and Thirteenth day – Three stalks of corn

Y’all keep Yuletide in your hearts…more light starts today. (((((HUGS)))))

That is a laugh out loud for me. I mean, just LOOK at it. Wonderfully absurd! :D

Keep them coming. I love’em all.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan!

No, it’s not the abominable snowman. It’s the adorable snowbasset!

Looks like our snow basset just got up from making a snow angel.

Stel, you come up with the bestest Christmas cards! Merry Christmas to you!!! And to our entire C&C family.

I have to say Cleo looks a little sad ~ kinda the way I am feeling these days. But it is still a beautiful picture. Happy Holidays to you all!!
