Fresh Air Arrival

I wanted to share this image from last night because it struck me as the ultimate contrast in lifestyles. What you are seeing is an Amish family welcoming a child from the fresh air program to Lancaster county. As they made their way to their transportation home,which was the horse and buggy,I could only image the thoughts going through her mind. A young girl, used to the hustle and bustle of New York City,was now boarding a buggy to experience life in the slow lane.I assume she was a return guest because she did not bat an eye as she climbed aboard for her ride to her home away from home.Oh the stories she will tell when she gets home.

 

The Tiny Nibbler

Little whitey is doing as young horses do and is antagonizing his meadow mate with a little nibble. Little brownie then cocked his one leg as a warning of an impending kick and the nibbling stopped for a moment. These two stand about 24 to 36 inches and are absolutely adorable miniature horses.
