Cow Trivia

I am tired of just of writing about quilting and such. And you really don't want me to write about housework or other cleaning, heck I don't even want to.

So I thought I would do something related to the farm 

How about Cow Trivia


* A cow has 32 teeth, and will chew about 40 - 50 times a minute.

*A cow will chew for up to 8 hours a day

* Cows move their jaws about 40,000 times a day

*Cows spend about 10 hours a day laying down.

* Cows will stand up and lay down about 14 times a day.

*Cows can sleep while they're standing.
( is that where cow tipping comes in)

* The first cow arrived in the U.S. in 1611 in Jamestown.

* A cow will consume about 40 lbs. of food in a day.

* The hamburger debuted at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.

* Almost 2,000 quarter pound hamburgers can be made from the ground beef in one cow.

* Cows have an acute sense of smell and can detect odors up to 6 miles away.

Pretty cool facts.

  5. Congrats on all the progress. Vintage Garden is very pretty. Those scalloped frames really help the different fabrics blend together.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
