| Old barn at the top of the first rise. Oh, I wanted to break in so badly. We caught our breath at this stop. |
Since my brain is still dancing about, this post will be
about life’s fine moments.
We visited our daughter (in Switzerland) in 2014; had a grand time, played with our
grandson, and enjoyed beautiful scenery.
We stayed at an Airbnb apartment just outside the city in KÖniz.
Getting there required two train changes and one bus. The
last train dropped us off at bottom of a fairly short but steep rise. My husband once counted the steps.
It led to a farm where our journey evened out. Greatest stop ever. This farm girl reveled in fields of wheat,
orchards of apples, and dairy cows.
The next portion of our walk was up an even steeper hill.
Okay, the above is fairly lucid but the typos were
many. Hope I got them all.
In our 2+ week stay, I formed a relationship with one of
the milk cows. Morning and night she was
in line for the milking machine. We exchanged in-depth eye contact. Although her ear tag is missing in this photo, it was #73.
I will never forget her.
I hope that you are starting to feel better.
ReplyDeleteDon't cows have beautiful eyes? Soft, melting and incredible lashes...
"Cow eyed" girl? Source of that saying?
DeleteHope your brain decides to sit the next one out.
ReplyDeleteShe's giving you the cow-eye.
It was hypnotic.
DeleteWe all have those days when the mind is all over the place. I wonder if the cow remembers you.
ReplyDeleteIf the cow still produces milk, she'd be around, but her long-term memory is poor.
DeleteLOVE those old barn doors; I'd love to see them restored and hung as entrance doors to my dream house.
ReplyDeleteMy mind has wandering days too, usually when I have that "head stuffed with cottonwool" feeling during bouts of severe hayfever. The only thing to do is go to bed and sleep it off.
I do hope your head feels much better and more normal soon.
So do I. Walking is now a sport.
DeleteSure giving you the holy cow eye haha
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! Haven't heard that one in years!
DeleteSweet remembrance to share with us. Your travels, a beautiful grandchild, the farms and cows. I really love cows and I've always found them to be very smart.
ReplyDeleteGet plenty of rest and shoo stress away from your doorstep.
Love, Belva
Thanks for the advice, Belva!
DeleteNothing like farm land and cows for easing the nerves.
ReplyDeleteSo true. This farmer had an equipment shed full of John Deere tractors.
DeleteCows do have a way about them that can draw us into their languid, large brown eyes. I had a similar relationship with a calf when I was a little girl, visiting relatives (not the cows) on a farm! That calf and I became very good mates during my visit! :)
ReplyDeleteCalves are sweet buddies.
DeleteThey are beautiful creatures with eyes full of expression.. I never eat beautiful creatures. I eat chicken and shrimp.
ReplyDeleteI hope your head feels better soon, Susan. That was quite an accident you had.
It apparently was. More than I knew then.
DeleteI always think cows have wonderful eyes ... a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteHope you may be feeling a bit better soon, that was a nasty fall you had.
All the best Jan
Cow eyes are beguiling.
