Culvers is thanking farmers.
The ad features a big BLUE barn. I said to Patrick, "I want to go see it!"
He said, "It's fake."
(He is cynical like that.)
I looked it up on Google.
(Cause I'm like that.)
This is in Beaver Dam Wisconsin.
I hear you can see it from 151.
Can you say....field trip!!!
Encourage one another and thank-you farmers.

I've been sad ever since they took down the smiley barn in Delafield so this made me happy when I saw it on the news. :) Yay farmers!
ReplyDeleteI miss the smiley barn too!!!!
DeleteYou make me long to see your part of the world with fields and barns!
ReplyDeleteI miss the Midwest!!! At certain times of year, I get a real pull to head home to Illinois and Indiana. From about right now until Thanksgiving, it's the strongest. What beautiful places and beautiful people.
ReplyDeleteYou can take the girl out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the girl!
DeleteSarah P. from Iowa
Amen, sister!
DeleteI haven't seen the ad on TV yet. What a wonderful thing to do! How far is Beaver Dam from where you live?
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE. it.
What a beautiful shade of blue. I so hope you take a field trip and report back to us.
BTW, whenever I am home in Illinois for a visit, I go to the Culvers in our little town. YUM. I could go for a butter burger RIGHT NOW!
We see this all the time on our trips back and forth to Madison. You are welcome to come visit us anytime!
ReplyDeleteI'd want to see that, too. Such a fun color for a barn. Makes red seem so boring!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue barn against the pretty green grass. Can you imagine what it'll look like against the white snow?
ReplyDeleteWe are Culver's fans around here, too. Better butter burger. : )
The farm that my husband and I live on has been in my family for around 85 years. Sophia is the fifth generation to live in our house. They've raised chickens, work horses, hogs, sheep and black Angus cattle over the years. Grandpa and my dad sold off the last of our cows in 2007. We still continue to raise row crop (corn, soybeans and occasionally wheat). Just this year my husband and I started raising chickens. So, this fall we'll have 16 egg-layers. They have been a lot of fun....so far. Ha!

We just got home yesterday from Wisconsin , ate at Culvers and had my first butter burger! Yum! Your state is so beautiful ! Everyone takes such pride in their homes and farms.
ReplyDeleteWe were so tempted to call you and come meet you. I've followed your blog for a long time, Katie was just a little one, and now has grown into such a young lady !
We drove through Beaver Dam and bought some cheese to bring home to Kansas . Go on a field trip and see the blue barn such fun!
I've only been to River Falls, WI (for Chiefs training camp years ago) and I'd love to head north and see more of your state.... it always looks so pretty thru your eyes!
ReplyDeleteI was born in River Falls! :)
Delete"I was born in River Falls!" Book title, Stephie. Write it!
DeleteLove,

I was born in a cauliflower hurricane....
Delete"I was born a poor black child."
DeleteDonna, The Jerk? it's a favorite in my family.
DeleteSarah P. from Iowa
Yup. Our family fave too. The Jerk and Parenthood.
DeleteMy dad uses that line all. the. time!
DeleteWhat a great color blue! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is some sort of cosmic ordering system where marriages have a cynical spouse and an "I believe and I will google it to prove it" spouse in each marriage (-: Guess which one I am?
Happy Tuesday all,
Di
I honestly don't know!? The cynic
DeleteI am, sad to say, a cynic about people. But dreaming about plans? I am the happy googler and my hubby is a cynic. I am working on being less cynical about people. I do not like that quality in myself...at all!
DeleteDi
My hubby is the cynic, I'm the happy googler.
DeleteI'm very thankful for google -- if only to prove I'm right some of the time :-)
Beautiful blue barn.....with such a beautiful message! As much as I love the city, it's gorgeous skyline and all it has to offer, I find myself drawn to the open fields of the country, too. Look forward to seeing your pretty pictures of this barn once you get your googling-self over there! :)
ReplyDeleteMary Z
YEP, I see it every weekend driving back home from Madison........the pretty blue color is Culvers signature color.........wonder if they had it custom mixed? Ya can't miss it on the right side of the road as you're headed North.
ReplyDeleteKaren F.
We are definitely taking a road trip to see this blue barn. We love Culver's!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your road trip.
ReplyDeleteYou find the neatest things!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to go there too! :)
ReplyDeleteand Donna...I KNEW YOU were going to come up with that line from the jerk when I started reading steph's comment!! ;P
sis' cindy :)
I LOVE this! I am so excited to share this on my wall. My Daddy will love it. He is the best farmer I know.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best finder. I wish I could go with you when you go to visit. How fun would that be? Meeting you would be a highlight of my life. Truly : ).
