By coincidence, the same day that I stopped to snap a photo of The Cow on Atwood Avenue, this fiberglass cow turned up in front of the Rubin's store on Monona Drive.

The Cow on Atwood Avenue has put on her Easter garb.

Here's something you don't see in your pocket change much these days. In fact, I would have gone so far as to say you'd stand no chance at all of finding one of these in circulation any more, until last week when My Darling B was culling coins to keep in the car for the parking meter. "Is a 1942 dime worth anything?" she asked, when she found this amongst the silver. Oh, just a little bit. I think somebody's been funding trips to the candy store with donations from big brother's coin collection.
