Painted In

Snow, like slathered paint on canvas, blends everything together as horses in winter coats eagerly sift through the tangled mess of cornstalks looking for bits of corn. Being engaged in the pursuit of survival they are oblivious to the beautiful picture they have become a part of.

Rescued

This little pony crossed the road in front of us. We slowed to see what would happen. A little tyke soon saw the pony so he scrambled after him not looking to see if anything was coming. He quickly grabbed the pony and dragged him back to his side of the road. No harm done!

Camaraderie

Companionship is no respecter of age or culture. We are happier when we have companionship, whether it is working together or socializing.  Painting, building barns, sewing, quilting, or eating goes better when we are with someone. Many animals also enjoy being together.
