"Does she prefer the company of that cow,
or does she prefer that corner,
or is it more complicated,
that that corner seems more appealing
because of the presence of that cow?"
Donna K. riffs off a A sentence from author Lydia Davis's The Cows. Single Sentence Animations are creative collaborations. The writer selects a favorite sentence from his or her work and the animator creates a short film in response at

i like the part about always more mistakes coming
Thanks for dropping in to my blog. I have enjoyed reading yours, I will be back for more. Hugs Karen
Lydia Davis says,"judgment...it must fit inside the brain of a ladybug". i love that.
and cows...i was obsessed with Holstein cows years ago. just looking at them brought me peace and calm. everyone used to give me cow figures and such. they didn't realize that all i wanted was a 'real' cow.

The fallibility of everything is so infallible, it's almost comforting.

...and I loved "Under all that dirt, the floor is really very clean." Through out my life it was a Shetland Pony I wanted most. it morphed into a horse as I aged, but reality brought me cats, dogs and birds. i still love a good horse story, and when in Massachusetts I visit the amazing Percheron draft horses up the hill from my friends place. Here in NYC I often get a hit of horse off Terri Windling's blog-http://windling.typepad.com/blog/- sitings of Dartmore ponies, and, of course horse tales from many authors. I'll save this obsession for a comprehensive blog post somewhere in the undetermined future.
