A Milk Bottle

 Stairs and milk bottles seem to go together. 

Reminiscent of the morning delivery left on the back steps.....

(I was playing around with my camera, trying out different settings and decided my new milk bottle would make a good subject.)

The back side says " Refresh with Milk! You never outgrow your need for milk. Drink 3 glasses every day!' (Love it!)

Milk Day

Fridays are milk delivery day here. Such an old fashioned simple pleasure we all look forward to each week! A little luxury that gives us as much happiness as good-for-you-ness. 

We get the good stuff, whole antibiotic-free milk in glass bottles. You really can't get it much fresher unless you lived on a farm. If you want to know more, visit Oberweis Milk.

A Visit From the Milkman

Have you ever dreamed of getting your milk delivered? I certainly have! It has always conjured up a fresh picture of early morning, the sun and birds just beginning to get up and a horse slowly pulling the milk wagon down the road. All you can hear are the birds singing and the gentle click, click of the milk bottles....and maybe the milkman whistling. This must of been a scene from a movie!

At the beginning of the summer we started a quest for a good -reasonably priced-organic whole milk. One of the brands we tried was Oberweis. The milk comes in glass half gallon bottles and written on the side is "Delivered direct to your door!" Well, we had to look into it! After comparing prices and researching it a bit more, we decided to give it a try! Even though having milk delivered sounds old-fashioned, today it is an up-todate process. You log into your account, check what you want delivered that week and check out!

There is actually a wide range of items that are available. From milk, butter and cheese to bread, pizza and sausage. We have been mainly getting eggs and milk. These are the most reasonable priced items and groceries we eat everyday.

Our cute little "milk box" provided by Oberwies to keep our dairy fresh! It is really just a cooler with cows on the front. Once a week we have to remember to put the box out on the front porch and make sure the dog sleeps up stairs. She doesn't like anyone on her front porch at 2am! Oh yes, our milk is delivered in the wee small hours. We ordered ice cream once and didn't want to invest in a special freezer bag, so just had the milkman knock on the door, not realizing he came that early!
