I got an Amazon package yesterday so it really was Christmas in July.
One thing I got was an adult coloring book.  They are supposed to relieve stress, but it looks more complicated than I thought.

Peach Cowbler, Atlanta CowParade 2003
Summer is a great time to enjoy peaches and peach desserts!

Artist: Claire Dunaway
Sponsor: Star 94

"Peach Cowbler" is a big piece of peach and cow cobbler. She is very proud of her southern heritage as she combines three essential elements of the south..peaches, cows, and cobbler. She may look tasty, but this "Peach Cowbler" is not edible.

Lotto Moola, Harrisburg CowParade
Since today is 07/07/15, I thought of this cow.
Title: Lotto Moola
Artist: Amy Rajakovic
Sponsor: Pennsylvania Lottery

"Lotto Moola" was inspired by the Pennsylvania Lottery's nightly drawing show during which the numbers for that days Lottery games are drawn from swirling bins. The energy and excitement of the show has been captured in this rendition by placing the show's spinning numbered balls in the belly of the hungry bovine. The games themselves are always exciting, but more importantly, the proceeds from all Lottery games benefits Older Pennsylvanians, everyday.
