What populated place our home is at times!It makes me laugh to think , how we create a whole bunch of conversations , just by not exactly pronouncing right, not listening properly , or not seeing clearly.
When I arrived from Germany last Sunday, Werner told me a lot about Archie Taylor. He kept explaining more and more and me being extremely tired just listened -until I could not help but ask , "Who is Archie Taylor?"
Turns out, Archie Taylor is the agitator from the seeder , Werner spend days to make it spit out the seeds properly and evenly.
Our daughter on the other hand overheard us talk about a Jamaican. Jamaican this and that and she felt compelled to remind us, that one should not refer to people by their home country , but by their names. Well , we did that, but a little laziness while pronouncing the name , made him the "Jamaican "!
Both Werner and I have many times raced to get the binoculars in order to spot some exotic animal more clearly, only to find out , that it is just a shrub or the wheelbarrow illuminated in a different way , to make them look like buffalo, moose , bears or wolfs. Crazy!
Even the landscape surrounding us takes on a live of its own. Driving along Grand Valley Road in the summer reminds us regularly of the hills of Tuscany , olive trees and cypresses and all.
Looking out west while sitting on our deck reminds us often of the African Savannah, and if we look closely, we even see the giraffes walking in the distance.
I can't wait who or what is coming next to our magic place.
