Overheard yesterday in the barn

Me: Eighty acres and a great big barn and you all have to crowd into one stall?

Hank: Sometimes we just feel the need to be together.

George: You know how it is, mom. 

Me: Yeah, I know. Why do you think I came out here to join you?

Alan: Life is short.

Lucy: And so are you.

Alan: Shut up, Lucy.

George: We can never take anything for granted.

Me: So true...*sigh*


Alan: Who farted?

Hank: I'd better get out of here before they figure out it was me.

  1. Your last caption reminded me of that hilarious horse race where the announcer had to follow the race of the horse named "Hoof Hearted".

  2. They were in Lyle's stall. Maybe they were taking a minute to remember and celebrate fallen comrades. What do you mean anthropomorphism?

  3. Around here when they gather in groups, it's usually to combat the flies. Some horse's tail is usually swishing where your's can't reach. Win-win.
