Out of the Barn

Two Horses just out of the Barn, 2018, Archival Digital Print

Billy and I drove up to North Chatham to pick up tick and flea meds for the puppies. Coming back to the car, it was just the moment when two striking Thoroughbreds were let out of the barn. To watch these two, their pleasure at being free, actually kicking up their heels and stretching their long muscles, their playfulness with each other, was to step into another world. We are all eager for spring. I’m predicting that it will come early. I need to believe this.

The only thing missing in this photo is the rooster crowing in the farm in the distance.  March is teasing us.  Today it is warmish, the snow is soppy, the air is full of moisture and 7 inches of snow is predicted for tomorrow.  This has been the most beautiful winter in recent memory simply because I’ve been able to reconnect with the Earth and her moods.
