Day 62

I really wanted to see these cows but they were set way back off the main drag
I didn't feel comfortable tromping up on their lawn to get a pic.
So, this is what we have...

Day 60

One of my faves. It's for one of the wilderness programs for troubled youth and adults.
Love the backpack and the campfire.

Day 59

Gates Family, I believe, I rather like these, really well painted. These are number 3. The main sign says, Families are for "Heifer". This is a rhyming word-play on a tenet of the Mormon faith that death does not separate families that they last "forever"; into the afterlife.

Day 57

Graf Family, I am thinking that they are probably one of the original families to settle Santa Clara, but I am not sure. I rather like this one, they even named it Molly as evidenced by the bell. (this is kind of ironic since it is a Mormon community and devout female Mormons are often referred to as "Molly Mormons" this isn't really a term of endearment; it can be quite derisive.)

Ence Dentistry, You can't really tell, but it's wearing a dr's mask, with a toothbrush necklace and the spots are shaped like teeth.

Day 51


I mentioned previously that we are having Swiss Days this coming week, so here are some of the cows. Some of them are numbered while others aren't. I'll be damned if I can find number 1. I tried going in order originally, when the numbers are gone the judging was over. I'm really bothered that I never saw number 1. lol This, obviously, is the entry for the post office.

More Cows! These are outside the Jacob Hamblin Home. Sometime I might take some more pics up there, nifty old settler home.

Day 41

This area was settled by a group of Swiss missionaries charged with the task of growing cotton and grapes by the LDS Church. For a couple weeks leading up to what are known as "Swiss Days" these cows start to make appearances around the main drag through town. I will be adding various ones for the next little while, there are over 20 that I have noticed. Such fun, I wish the town I lived in had this much character. sigh
