The horse (above) came barreling toward me, full speed.
I like horses, but I was pretty glad that there was a fence between us.
Look at this beautiful creature!
Oh. He wasn't coming to run me over; he only wanted to read the sign:
'No Sunday Sales'
Sam's Driveway
Out in the beautiful Coulees and Ridges

:0)) He was happy to see you.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
Woolie hugs
He was hoping you'd take the hint and go and buy him some of that fresh fruit to eat!
ReplyDeleteHe's gorgeous...I am sure he was hoping that you had a carrot for him! :)
ReplyDeleteHe must be lonely. I love South West Wisconsin - New Glaris, Black Earth and MT. Horeb area.

ReplyDeleteOh, he IS a handsome fella, isn't he!
ReplyDeleteWe have numerous Amish settlements dotted around the area; I especially love their raw milk cheeses (the jalapeno is the best ever!) and their 'Traffic Jam' aka Wedding jam.
I'm tempted to say that I like horses, but couldn't eat a whole one. But I won't, because it might be misunderstood. He is indeed a beautiful creature. Really liked your photos - very pastoral. The Norwegian-Irish sign is a good symbol!
ReplyDeleteJudy that horse probably thought you had some lumps of sugar to share! Love seeing the Wisconsin photos! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteTwisty roads and lanes to find the Irish Way and Norwegian, can't remember the rest of the sign. Looks like what I remember from my child like eyes as I road along with my dad as he stopped to get cheese at different places. The hills and trees, country, barns, animals . . . fences . . . the photos take me back. I also remember CAR SICK . . .
ReplyDeleteI think I RODE along instead of ROAD . . .
ReplyDeleteHa! Like your interpretation of why the horse was running towards the fence. ;)
ReplyDeleteI alway enjoy Amish hand lettered signs. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteJudy, great job on the fence and the sign....and the beautiful animal. Love the color of the horse.
ReplyDeleteWhoa it does look like he was happy to see you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful horse! I'd be glad of the fence between me and the horse too! Love the hand painted sign and beautiful farm and countryside. Have a super day!
ReplyDeletea great combination to love, there! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe horse is truly magnificent! Lovely shots, Judy :) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteJudy, that horse is my very favorite color horse! I believe it's called bay - brown with very dark mane. Your photos are superb! I'm so glad you share them with us through your blog.
ReplyDeleteHow funny-- bet he was hoping for a carrot or apple. I'm sure the horses are enjoying this cooler weather. Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat horse just wanted to say hello and hey, give me some treats.
ReplyDeleteI bet that horse loves people! And is probably well loved if he has that reaction to people. Loved seeing all these shots. Been through Wisconsin a couple times and loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is lovely in your world!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo you got of the horse in action. Fences can be real good! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful country you live in.
Have a great weekend.
I hope that hand made sign gets them lots of sales!
ReplyDeleteI like the Irish-Norwegian interchange :). Any other nationalities, I wonder??
That was a gorgeous horse. Of course being that I'm a tad "afraid" of horses had it galloped towards me like that I would have been off like a scared rabbit looking for safety. Good thing there was a fence. I hope the horse liked what he read on the sign. That sign is sort of funny being that it's in the US and yet the names on the sign talk about other countries. The US is diverse indeed.
ReplyDeleteoh the horse is a real lovely one. The fences are lovely takes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun, especially the horse reading the sign. Ha! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful horse and scenery.Good fence too, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteI am glad he is not a jumper and just a reader! It is a beautiful horse! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteHe's a handsome horse and these are lovely rural scenes.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures. Beautiful horse.
ReplyDeleteAnd you had your camera with you! Beautiful photos. I bet you are watching the news today across the pond. Meant to say how fun it was to get my order. So nicely done. Thanks! Taking them as hostess gifts on our next trip.
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely and green there! Love the signs and the horse!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful animal! And I would love to follow that sign and have a look around there..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful farm & fence! What a lovely horse as well. How nice you can get organic produce there!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous horse!
ReplyDeleteIt really is great to see this area of the country.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous animal. And your part of the country looks gorgeous also. I wish to visit there one day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful horse! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeletehe is a beauty!! i have felt that "good thing for a fence" feeling....perhaps they think we have carrots!!
ReplyDeletethe only thing i love more then a good fence, is a beautiful horse and pretty country views!!
oh he's gorgeous and that's funny, he does look like he's reading the sign!
ReplyDeleteI like that style of street sign.
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping by my blog this evening and for leaving me a lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteWisconsin is one of those states that I've been in as I've been enroute from one city to another. I spent the night in Madison many years ago.
Your photos are beautiful. That horse is gorgeous.
I'll be visiting your Etsy store, as I love using handmade soaps.
Blessings,

A beautiful horse - he wanted a treat! Lovely farm - pretty countryside there. I've never been to Wisconsin, but I had a good friend from Eau Claire when I was young. I always loved the way she said 'Chair'..... 'Cheer' :) xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThe horse is in such wonderful condition. The area around is so beautiful. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures just keep amazing me. I wish we would have wandered off the beaten path when we went to the Dells. We did, a bit, to visit a winery, but I would have taken the scenic road if we had had more time to get home. Maybe next time.....
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful - as always!
ReplyDeletefunny how we both spoke of the Amish. they really are such a great group of folks. i wish i could learn more ... i love learning. ( :
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful farm area and horse! He wasn't trying to scare you, just anxious to make friends, LOL.
ReplyDeleteJudy, let me be the 51st person to say how much I enjoyed this post. There's just something about the Wisconsin countryside that you captured. It's so inviting. I feel a road trip coming on! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave you been to the Amish farm?
The horse was probably just happy to see you!
Off to a wedding in NJ tomorrow. Leaving at 5 AM. Three hour drive. Wedding is at 10 AM. Really? The things we do for love, huh?
