Now that you've let your mind go to that old riddle*, bring it back to Switzerland.
And Swiss fields.
And Swiss sheds.
Now.
THIS is what is brown and sticky in Swiss fields:
 |
| A stick stack (or a super huge broom). |
 |
| Sometimes there are multiple...stick stacks...er, piles? |
And in Swiss sheds:
The brooms here are actually made from hand-tied sticks and are used extensively - outside and in.
Some things in Switzerland are just so retro. Like these stick stacks and these brooms.
A close up of the hand-tied sticks:

| This one is outside our apartment building to be used by the groundskeepers. |
No poem today, just an old riddle that reminds me of Switzerland - both for the smell and the sound of bells (that was told to me a long time ago by one of my former students):
Q: What's brown and sounds like a bell?
A: ¡ƃunp (read upside down)
