Picture meme: Thanks Jonathan!

Jonathan Hunt at fancyrat.net (a great blog -- learn about rats as pets!) tagged me to do the Sixth Photo meme (instructions here). Following the meme, which directs me to folders on my hard disk, I ended up with this picture.

Bob and I are in a little park called Prophetstown in Indiana. The park is a old restored barn and farmhouse, and also an operating farm. The historic park helps children learn about farm life in the 1920s. I of course hung out with the horses when we went to visit with my mom, who is a park volunteer and supporter. What I love about this photo is that despite the mud, the background and the sky are lovely. I feel like we've been plopped into a postcard.

A story about rats
And in honor of the Fancyrat blog, I'll share a story about a friend's pet rat. Sharon had a lovely white rat named Snow. One night she and her husband were on the couch eating potato chips and watching TV. Snow jumped up next to her shoulder. He looked at the couple and their bowl of chips. Tben he jumped down, went to the kitchen, and returned with a chunk of his rat kibble. Snow jumped back up to his perch, and they all gazed at the TV eating their respective snacks. It was a neat story, I think!

Here were the photo meme instructions...
