A Little Hoarse Today


Easter Sunday my wife and I spent almost the entire day on the back deck, including all three meals. Weather was fantastic and we had nowhere to go and no schedule to keep. Nice.

Sometimes some interesting things happen when you slow your life down that much. I have lived in my house for almost seven years. I mow my yard about 22 times every summer. That is about 132 times since I bought the house. To get from the front to the back I pass through a gate at least four times per mowing. That is 528 times through that gate.

Sunday is the first time I have ever seen this little horse head on that gate. So I started looking around at my fence. There are four of these. How have I gone this long without seeing four cast aluminum horse heads on my fence? And more puzzling: why would anyone ever purchase and install such a thing?
