© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the soft landing foodie farm blog where one of the only sheep memories I have from my pre-farmgirl days is of taking a favorite back road parallel to Highway 101 in Sonoma County (the name of which I've completely forgotten, despite the fact that I used to drive on it all the time—I'm thinking it was Old Highway Something or Other) and seeing black birds sitting on the backs of sheep. For some reason I just thought it looked really neat, and I love that this sight—which never ceases to delight me no matter how many times I see it—is now a part of my life.
I think it's something to do with how nature is just getting along. It feels (looks) tranquil for some reason...I love it too. I also love the white birds following the tractors in the field eating things in the fresh cut grass.
ReplyDeleteI truly love all of your photos - animals (all of 'em!), your gardens, recipes, rocks, The Shack, fresh made bread (yummmm!), the beautiful countryside - well, the list is endless, but they are all so amazing and I really appreciate that you share them with us. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am so fond of your photos.They're evocative of a simpler way of life and leave me with a feeling of tanquility. Thank you for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteLike a country version of an African safari where you have blackbirds on the backs of sheep rather than on the backs of hippos.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I may know which road you're referring to. At least it sounds a lot like Old Petaluma Hwy that I still take nowadays to go out to Bodega.
Love Sonoma Cty.
Farmgirl, I just discovered your blog and have to say it's one of the most refreshing "food blogs" out there! It's nice to see the perspective of someone who's not just on the consumer end of the chain...not to mention your pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSonoma county is such a magical place.
