Horse Farm

I call this the horse farm on outer Stroudwater Street heading into the city. I have no real idea what a horse farm is or if there is any such thing in Maine. I know one thing for a fact though. There are horses housed in that barn. I've seen them all year long, as I drive by on this stretch of road. In the winter, it's a lot of fun traveling by and seeing them dancing, prancing and galloping across a field of white, and if it happens to snowing... well, my! If you told me Robert Frost wrote "The Runaway", while parked here for a spell, I'd believe you. Now, I'm not a big horse guy, but it always brings a grin of satisfaction in winter, when I see them playing in this field. As we travel down this road called life, aren't some of the simplest things the most pleasure-packed? They are for me.

  8. Love the wreath against the white. If'n yur not shure of what a horse farm is all about, you need to visit Ocala, the "Horse Capital of the World," which abounds in horse farms, large and small. Plus it would get you into warmer weather for a spell.

  10. A big barn, horses in the pasture, a white fence or other fence that is not barbed wire all lead to horse farm if you ask me.
