I thought I may explain, "You have to be able to judge a cow thru
the mud." That came from my FFA (Future Farmers Of America) adviser,
David E. McPherson, aka Mr Mac. See, I was in High School and on the
Dairy Judging team. Mr. Mac had taken our team out to a dairy barn for
judging practice. It was a muddy day and well, the cows were a little
muddy. And someone on the team commented on it. And, that is what he
said, "Well...., You'll have to judge the cow thru the mud." Sometimes you
have to look thru the mud, the layers, the ugly, to see the bones,
structure of something. He was a very wise man and when he retired
after 45 years, a lot of tears were shed.
Funny, how something that someone said so long ago, sticks with you
for a lifetime. I am not really sure why that influenced me so much.
But, when I see something ugly, I think how can I make it Fabulous.
Check out the Barnominium. It was a Big Old Muddy Cow. I will be
adding lots of before and afters projects and DIY projects on the blog.
Unlike HGTV, everything on my blog will be done on a beer budget. I
love to watch that channel, but sometimes you need to see something
real, attainable. Not many, have $30,000 to redo a kitchen, $15,000 to
redo a bath. I will be showing affordable do overs. So, check out the
barn and the other post under pages.
I hope this Blog will inspire you, to look inside yourself for
creativity, to think outside the box. You will not ever know you
can...unless you just do it. So, many people are frozen, thinking "I
can't do that." "YES, You Can" Either their lazy and want someone else
to do it for them or they are just insecure in their abilities. I
challenge you to step out of the box. If you paint something and don't
like it, change it, It is just paint. Thanks, for looking. Feel free to
comment or to ask questions.
