Day 236 Right Spot

This morning I painted at the Littleton Historical Museum. I love this place and have many fond memories of bringing my kids here over the years. Todays "animal adventure" involved 2 lambs that escaped the enclosure and desperately wanted back in. The momma sheep kept bleating at them, the lambs bleated back and jammed their heads repeatedly between rails that were too close together. They got their heads stuck a few times and were pretty panicked.

We steered them to an area where there was room to slip back through, but they continued to clunk their heads over and over in the wrong spot. Finally, another woman (with a very young child) grabbed the lambs and shoved them through the right part of the gate. Hero.

Hmmm, I wish someone would come along and just shove me in the right direction sometimes.

Anita Winter ended up with an excellent oil painting today

All's well that ends well!
