How are we meant to only think of one thing at a time. I can't. Especially now. Take a walk with me. It is the best way to quieten your flibbertigibbet.
I can picture your Mother, set up & ready to paint in her field studio, with 40 cows waiting & watching to appreciate her plein air artwork. I sincerely hope that you have one her paintings hanging in your home or that your children do. I saw a video on the internet some yrs. ago of a herd of cows that had come down a French hillside to the fence to listen with looks of bovine bliss to a touring American jazz combo that had pulled over to play them a number or two. From these examples I conclude that cows are not only curious, but culture mavens too & enjoy the arts as much as the next enthusiast. Thank your for today's wonderful walk about & visit with your charming companions.
Cows do love music. I always had music playing in the barn when I was milking. I used to put my speaker in a sock and hang it from a nail! Those were the days!
How wonderful that her work sold so well, & I'm glad you have one, no matter how, & she may have been wrong about it. I once gave my son one of mine that didn't sell in a show because I did like it & it had a sailboat in it & I wanted him to have one. He hung it in apt. he shared with 3 other students. One of them threw a shirt over a lamp that was left burning when they all went out for the evening...There was a fire....The painting survived but was blackened & the canvas & frame were waterlogged. He & I both cleaned & cleaned it, etc. Long"no good deed" saga. I haven't seen it recently.....
I accidentally (not my kind of place but one of my grandsons loves it) discovered that the Dollar Tree store has a rack of reading glasses cheap. Alas, not everything costs a dollar there anymore, but I think they were three for $5 or something. I buy reams of them and keep stashes of them in every room in my house. Those buggers disappear and they also break. Glad you found yours--I love those little flashes of memory! The brain is an amazing thing.
I love that word, flibbertigibbet! It’s great when you discover someone else uses a favourite word! Great fact packed post today, thank you. Guess what my new screen saver is? Those little black hogs of course! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like your "Farmy Round-Up", Cecilia! May have to try that at Runamuk...Ive been wanting to feature my critters. Like a "Cast of Characters". And I hear ya on the quiet that follows a busy summer. It can be defening.
Oh Quiet Farm Syndrome - what a great name! My life still feels a little to chaotic to claim that yet, but the days are getting colder and that definitely sets in for me too.

I do have one of her paintings but only because she hated it. All the rest were sold.

Sending love and good juju from Maine!

It feels like a low grade panic! I keep looking back over the farm and thinking - is that all?
I should qualify that - I look back and think- is that all the chores for today? 😂
Thanks for sharing my post Cecelia
You are very welcome. Your writing is valuable -deserves tons of shares!
That’s kind thanks so much
I thought my mind was always jumbled but yours is on a whole different level
It is a carefully constructed art form! Oh my Gods - Just imagine if I were an artist!! 😂
Boo was doing his best to distract you but failing 😢 points for effort 🫢
It is BooBoos mission in life.
He stores up wind to make you smile 🌬️
Later in Life adventures are a good idea while you are still in the mood for it! Colorado is a state I have never been to.
