Original oil painting by: Grandfather’s wife<\/p><\/div>\n

Grandfather says he supposes everyone has weird dreams from time to time.<\/p>\n

For example, last night Grandfather had a cow hitched to a plow and walked her up a ramp. She broke through the ramp and got one leg stuck.<\/p>\n

Then Grandfather woke up, rationality set in and he has no idea why he would hitch a cow to a plow, and\/or why he would walk her up a ramp that way.<\/p>\n

As to whether the cow had plowed any furrows or where the ramp was headed, the dream didn’t say.<\/p>\n
