"Glad Cow"
Find our girl on a road that includes both the words Pleasant & Mount.
There are many a mile--but it's up to you (smile) to keep up with that count.
If we told you exactly how many miles, there'd be far too few clues!
So for now "Zion's St. Thomas' Purple Triangle" will sorrily, have to do.
Now across the road from this holy house, lies "Glad Cow's" new home.
She's "utterly" tickled to have "moo"-ved there, no longer feeling so all alone.
She's tucked away, above the fray, from visitors walking out and then in.
The old shelter still stands, passed from Titus' hands down to Elsa & Len.
Back in the days amid the cows that grazed it belonged to Grandpa Kemp.
He used it to cool the milk they had gleaned to exactly the right temp.
Our precious bovine duchess, though we dare not call her Fergie,
rests RIGHT in the roof, of this old cooling shed belonging to the family Bergey.
Her home is old, the door is gone but inside there are stickers and stamps,
No need to go far once out of your car, there's the shed that belonged to gramps.
Come sit for a spell...oh the stories they tell of the days of milk & roses.
See what Milky Way's dream, vats of fresh cream and where "Glad Cow" reposes.
NOTE: Please don't read further if you want to find this place from clues.
But if you have kids in tow when stamping I think it's important to note
what follows--one especially fun event, is time sensitive.
Active dairy farm that sells milk products in old fashioned glass bottles in a general store type setting.
They make homemade ice cream there on the farm.
"Folks welcome to see the calves and other small farm animals and view the milking at 4:30 p.m."
Store closed on Sunday.
Hours: Summer hours - 9:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Monday-Saturday.
Winter hours - 9:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Saturday.
