As promised: Cows on a hill. Photo taken while driving and getting angry at my camera because it kept shutting off right when I wanted to take a picture.
Spotted on the grounds of the theater:
Do you see the fawn? She stared at us for the longest time.
So sweet. I saw a fawn running around frantically on the golf course the other morning. By the time I got my camera she was gone. I assume she found her mama.
As a certified obsessive collector of McCoy Pottery, imagine my surprise when I found this box in the condo. A condo, by the way, that had no other boxes anywhere.
This is on top of the cupboards in the little laundry room. Pine Cone is a McCoy Pattern. Immediately, all sorts of thoughts went through my head. I wonder if the owners have any idea this is here? Maybe I can leave a note asking if they’re selling them. Or maybe they want to give the McCoy away? I wonder how many pieces there are?
Full of excitement, I dragged a chair in there and pulled it down. What was inside?
Cans of turpentine and paint thinner.
Drat.
It seems to be an especially cruel taunt, doesn’t it?
Oh Cluadia! Your heart must have skipped a beat when you read “Pine cone McCoy! What a bummer : (
The fawn is adorable!
Hugs,
Terri
Oh, man, I feel your pain! I love the sweet deer! Have a nice day! Twyla
Claudia,
Bummer about the McCoy. I love it. I also like Hull. I will start the hunt at some of my favorite haunts next week.
Counting the days?

Oh, now I LIKE that! I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets excited when I see cows out on a Sunday drive!!.. I’m such a city girl, country-girl-wannabe!… Love your very sweet pictures of the little fawn too! ~tina
I love seeing cows in a pasture. It is such a peaceful scene. My father-in-law used to have cows that he kept in the fields that surround our two houses. A few years ago, he sold them, though. But, we can see our neighbor’s cows in a field that borders our property. I love sitting on our deck and watching them. Cows are great big and scary up close, though.
We also have deer on occasion. We used to see them daily, but the past couple of years they don’t come so frequently. Sad…….
Oh how disappointing it must have been when you looked in the box!
Oh my! What a letdown! At least the little fawn was a nice diversion. I had a mom and her baby walk across my front lawn yesterday but it was too late to grab my camera….of course. Have a great day!~Hugs, Patti
How wonderful it would have been to have discovered a forgotten box of McCoy pottery… :-)

What a beautiful picture of that little fawn. Too bad about that box…what a disapointment!blessings, Joanne
Oh darn! Maybe its a sign that the real McCoys are heading your way! Lovely photos. Glad the baby fawn found her mother. Lovely photos!

What a sweet little fawn! We see them all over at this time of year. Last year I saved one that had fallen halfway down the creek enbankment and had it’s leg stuck in a tree root… Poor little thing sounded just like a baby crying. (yes, we live in the middle of the suburbs, but we have wildlife all over the place.)
At least you know they are lovely people if they even know what McCoy pottery is. Love the fawn,
Mere
Oh no! Not such a treasure~ at least it wasn’t marked ‘gold bars’ or something like that! lol:)
Beautiful photos…I love the cows!
hugs,

The fawn is so sweet, Claudia,
we do have them visit our ground ,too- they did all winter, the mothers ,too- I wonder if we will see them now in summer,too- when there are so many more people in the island….
Hugs,Dorthe
Drat, but a relief that there was no ‘good stuff’ in the box – would have made too many decisions happen. Getting closer to going home time. I bet your garden is bursting out all over.

Poor Claudia! What a cruel letdown. I can imagine your excitement when you first saw the box. Oh, well! Things like that do happen. You do have lots of beautiful things waiting for you at home, plus your dear hubby and sweet pets.
Hi Claudia,
Love the photos of the cows and little fawn. You had me very excited about finding the McCoy as well! Interesting that they had that box…. Hope you find a nice McCoy piece in a nearby shop before you leave. I know how much you adore it. Have a beautiful day! xoxo Kim
NO McCoy!!!!!!
wow…that hurts.
Not too excited about your fawn since the parents think my yard is their eternal salad bar!…she/he is cute though…
