We all know kids say the darnedest things...
But I can honestly say, I never once thought I would hear my 6-year-old ask:
"Momma, why are there horses outside my window?"
No, your eyes did not deceive you... you read correctly. I even have the photographic proof:
Michaela stayed home from school today. While in her room earlier this morning, she happened to look out her window... and saw a horse in our front yard. In fact, there were four horses in our yard.
Seriously. Four horses. In my front yard.
By the time I grabbed the camera, they were on the move... I snapped this picture looking out my kitchen window:
And then I made way to the back deck to find these beauties in my backyard, munching on my grass, like it was totally normal:
I had to call Shane at work (Me: "Dude, you are not going to believe this...") While I was on the phone with him, a police cruiser drove by. I don't know if someone else in the neighborhood called the police, or if the officer just happened to be on patrol (and if the officer was just on his routine patrol, I can't imagine what ran through his mind when he saw four horses where they shouldn't be!)
(I also had to call my pal Angie... to tell her it's reasons like this she needs to move out of the city limits and into the sticks with me)
By the time the officers (three in all) got a hold of the owners, the horses had made their way to the backyard of the house behind mine:
Just outside the entrance to my subdivision is a pasture where these horses are kept. Here's the owner, leading his horses back home where they belong:
I'm just glad one of the horses didn't leave a "gift" on my lawn, if you know what I'm sayin'...
First there was a rogue rooster in my yard... then the baby goats... now horses. I'm afraid to ask... what's next?!
