Home Delivery!


There’s nothing like farm-fresh milk. Indulge in home delivery. Your bones will thank you!

Oh, yes, and by Bossie.

  6. I haven't seen milk delivered since I was a kid. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen a ice cream truck since also.

  7. I love that picture. I also remember home delivery and milk in glass bottles. And it was cool to just step on the porch at 6 a.m. and find 4 gallons of milk in the cooler. Great 160.

  8. Brian: Yes, it is lawn art. On Florence St. in Sebastopol, CA, we found the fantastic metal sculpture of artist Patrick Amiot. I think he lives on the street. There's a video of his work here.

    otin & f82bfat: Yeah, I remember that milk box too, filled with glass bottles. Getting to the cardboard tab top on the bottle first meant getting to lick off the cream that rose to the top and accumulated there. Thanks for visiting!

    Tracy: Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments. Come back soon!

    Janice: Me too! This artist has whimsy to spare!

    Urban Cowboy: There was a dairy near us that did it for a short time about five years ago. They had to stop because nobody was interested. :-( Check out my post “Remember Part 3" here.

  9. I love this picture Patti!
    We don't have home delivery milk in Germany - but we used to live close to a farmer and every evening we went with a bottle and got fresh milk.. ;=)

  12. I miss the days of home delivery. I even got to ride with the milk man once. It was so much fun. Thanks for being a part of the Sunday 160.

  13. Claudia: It doesn't get any fresher than that!

    Harris & MM: Dairy milk, home delivered, is just so, well, homey.

    AA: Glad you thought the picture was cute. But if you also thought it was created using PhotoShop, nay, nay. This is an unedited (though cropped a bit) photo taken of a sculpture in a yard in Sebastopol, CA. Take a look at the video for more of this artist's work.

  14. I admit to being old enough to remember the milkman delivering milk, cream, eggs, etc. on our back porch.

    Thanks for the 160.

  18. Good ole Bossy. I actually had a milk cow named Bossy. And one named Besse. They were sisters and cohorts in crime. They could both kick over a milk pail right as the foam reached the top... ah, those were the days. Arghh.
