You know, when I can't sleep, I list in my head all the national flags in the world that use red and white only—there's about twenty of them, you know. Then I go on to blue and white—I'm digressing. I don't know; what's the answer?"

@ Highland cattle on Tindholmur
As Silver Mist's tour of "Denmark" comes to an end, she receives a seasonally appropriate gift!
Precious Blue Winter Blooms
You and your pets won’t be blue when you see how pretty these look in your art. Fill the baskets and flower boxes with these sweet blue blooms. Plant them under trees and let these delicate blossoms peek up through the snowdrifts.

The Highland cow is the oldest registered breed of cattle in the world. They have a double coat, the shaggy, oily outer coat covers a softer, fluffier undercoat so the cows keep warm and dry in chilly, wet weather.
