life as a horse is pretty sweet, especially when children so delight in gently rubbing my nose, though admittedly some emboldened few get a bit carried away.  'tis love.


     (the adjustment to T's ruptured disc the pain and severe walking issues are making life really hard - and i am so aware that many share hard times these days - my search for a photo, kind of half-heartedly I admit, that says something of the beauty of life, is important.  thanks for all your warmth here, for me and for all of us.)
