Soothing Sounds

In the last few months of her life, Hobnob seemed to take more solace with sitting in a paper sack than she did for most of her life up to that point.  She didn't need to be there for long, but when she wanted to be in a sack, she would push it along the floor until she could manage to get it to open up enough so she could crawl in.

I have noticed that Bree has decided making paper sacks make that "paper sack sound" when you step on them to be a good thing now that Hobnob is gone.  I'm not sure if Bree finds that to be soothing, but it's been a thing.

As we approached the new school year (now a couple of weeks prior to this blog posting) Tammy spent increasing amounts of time on the computer, trying to get things ready.  The end of August and beginning of September has traditionally been a stressful time at the Genuine Faux Farm - in large part because it is important for Tammy to start the school year off on the right foot.  And, it also means that the farm gets less and less of her attention - even if she would like to get out there and do some things!

In an effort to help, I created a nice long playlist of songs that I knew Tammy likes.  But not just songs she likes - songs that can be soothing, that might aid concentration, and, perhaps, help us find success in the work we are doing.

It's not a paper sack, but it seems to work for both of us.  So, here are some soothing sounds from that play list.  Maybe you will enjoy a few.  And, yes, this list goes to eleven.
