But how clever of your father to use the cake pan to milk her.<br />I never had a milk cow but our neighbors did and they supplied us nicely when she came fresh. I also had a butter churn and my children all loved taking turns cranking the handle. I will post a picture of it soon.<br />I left a comment on your previous post about your plant.<Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484592294033354129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-65721264138232917892010-02-10T17:44:38.421-05:002010-02-10T17:44:38.421-05:00I really like the name Pansy.I really like the name Pansy.AiringMyLaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051140760624657630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-26077795612938989452010-02-10T16:56:17.967-05:002010-02-10T16:56:17.967-05:00My family lived out in the country for a few years...My family lived out in the country for a few years when I was a kid.

Having had a cow (Holstein) when I was young (50 years ago), I remember thanks to you my feelings when I visited her during the milking to the stable and the little conversations I could have with her :)! Her name was "Marguerite" (the french name for the daisy flower) It's a bit strange that we often name our cows mamiecolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917505415482428507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-48999145284210334552010-02-10T13:20:20.281-05:002010-02-10T13:20:20.281-05:00What a sweet post...!

I read back to what you used to do with the milk. I vaguely remember my grandma making butter and loved the taste of "fresh" milk the few times I drank it. <br /><br />Thanks for the memories.
