Last Friday I had the distinct pleasure of apprehending two runaway horses. They escaped from their pasture, ran through the woods and crossed 579 at rush hour. This is not the thing to do on 579! I went outside to find out what all the noise was about, cornered the horses and the younger walked right to me. Once I had his halter, the other was quickly caught. I stood there a good 15 or 20 minutes hoping my neighbor would come out to walk his new pup (which he finally did). With his two ropes, we tied the horses to the dogwood tree and I called the State Police. After the older horse broke the rope, I was able to get him back in hand and stood with both of them until the police arrived, tracked down the owners and escorted them back to their pasture.
Those of you who have only seen me at the shop (Kindred Quilts, Clinton, NJ) will probably be appalled by these pictures. The glasses are at least 20 years old. The pj pants have snowflakes on them and I am also wearing my nightgown and robed. It was a stunning sight!
