Goodbye 2020 – Sound up!

One sheep, one cat, and some fireworks. Just something to kick out 2020.

  • I found this a couple of months late... However, I am still happy to watch this video. THANK YOU for sharing it. Are you related to this helpful cat in what appears to be a print-making studio? We are experiencing slightly warmer weather this week in the Boston area and hearing the wonderful dripping sounds of spring as snow melts... here's to a better 2021!

    • I am on said cat's staff. And not a print studio just the very messy end of a table with a heap of assorted supplies. And yes - the snow is melting here too and we are headed for some warmer days for the rest of the week. Yay!

  • I loved the sheep pushing the man in. My thoughts exactly. And to think I was optimistic in January of 2020.

  • The finale of Schiller's Ode to Joy set by Beethoven -- what sentiment more appropriate for us, the 48% who didn't accept the vision of sunlit uplands in 2021 we were foolishly promised, whether in health, wealth or happiness. So-called dumb beasts know better!

    • Accidentally pressed the send arrow, let's hope that's not a premonition! Here's to a happier new year, Josie---stay safe, stay kind and take care.
