A rustic Riding Hood!

"When riding my horse I no longer have my heart in my chest, but between my knees."

This yokel yonder steals our hearts!

"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. "Bern Williams

Man and Friend!

“While the cock with lively din, Scatters the rear of darkness thin; And to the stack, or the barn door, Stoutly struts his dames before; Oft list'ning how the hounds and horn, Cheerly rouse the slumb'ring morn” John Milton

Close to Heaven!

"Out of the bosom of the Air, Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, Over the woodlands brown and bare, Over the harvest-fields forsaken, Silent, and soft, and slow Descends the snow."

~  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sleeping like a baby!

And if tonight my soul may find her peace
in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,
and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower
then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
~D.H. Lawrence
