Okay, I don’t really know if that’s this calf’s name but it sure is sweet and cute. I’ve loved cows ever since I was a little girl living in Washington State. We had a cow pasture next to our house and every chance I got I’d go visit my favorite cow “Buttercup” and feed her the yellow flowers that grew in the field.

Lubbers Family Farm

Many people are learning about the benefits of pasture fed, unprocessed full fat milk. It’s hard to get though and the Lubbers Family Farm is one of the places this is available in Michigan. In order to get the milk, folks buy shares in the jersey dairy cows on their farm and pick up their milk weekly. I took this picture in the pasture of their farm. I’ll tell you a little more about this later in the week when I post more pics, in the meantime, if you’re curious to learn more, you can find out more about the farm online at www.LubbersFarm.com.

Raising Kids In Michigan

Those of us lucky enough to call metro Grand Rapids home have discovered this is a great place to raise children. The city is big enough to feature national acts like Hannah Montana (on December 6 at the Van Andel Arena), yet still offer some of the world’s finest beaches, lush farmland, and abundant state parks with woods and wildlife.

Greenville Trails

This mermaid statue overlooks an area undergoing renovation at the third stage of a four stage trail project that will make it possible to go anywhere in the city by, biking, walking or skating–without having to go on roads. The trails wind along the river and beautiful wooded areas. Here’s a link to a a web page with information about Greenville’s various parks and trails.
≤br≥I haven’t seen many sheep farms here in Michigan so had to take this shot when I was traveling in northern Michigan on my fall color hunt. It’s beautiful here but wow were the cars ever ripping by me when I was setting up the shot.
