I wished them into the cornfield

Sometimes when we don't want certain people around us anymore, we can sweep them out of our lives like in Photoshop... but their 'shadows' still linger behind.
I just love the title of this thread. If only life was so simple!

Wow.
What a great analogy.
You just blew my mind.

Funny photoshopping, and good call on the part of Duck!

i didn't notice the shadows, but I should have!

Have you ever biked under a bridge like that when a train is crossing overhead?
I have, and it's SCARY!! You know there's nothing to fear, but your heart starts racing in fear anyway no matter what you tell it.
The second time, I actually stopped and let the train pass before going under the tunnel. I was chicken.

Tell about that photo.
Memorial to fallen ears?

Tell about that photo.
Memorial to fallen ears?

It's a sculpture field in Dublin Ohio, created to honor the inventor of hybrid corn.
I thought it looked appropriate for wishing someone into a cornfield.

there is something very spiritual about fields of grain and tall grasses. I don't know quite what.

Before we bought our house together, my husband used to gaze out at a clump of tall wetland grass growing across from his back yard. He said it was restful.
So when we bought our little house, I got some very tall 7' decorative grasses and planted them right outside our bedroom window. When we have our coffee in bed in the morning, we get to see the tall grasses swaying and rustling outside the window across from our bed. It is so very peaceful and calming.

Speaking of rustling cornstalks and grasses.....

What are your favorite soothing sounds? (not music)

I'll say:

rustling tall grass or corn

the sound of long hair being brushed
