Current Photo Friday theme: Springtime
Springtime means the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and a little girl feeds an apple to a mule for the first time.

Who goes there? Please leave comments so (An Aries Knows)!
this is a perfect picture – cute little girl with a horse, nice cowboy in red boots, and mules.
Thanks! I love her stuffed horse. There were lots of real horses around, but he chose these mules to teach her how to feed apples. They were so gentle with her.
the mule is a noble beast.
This is a good picture! I was wondering what she was clutching.
Thanks. I think she may have been meeting her first real horses and mules that day.
I was ssssssoooooo tempted to go out and hunt for a junkyard that still had the Colorado blizzard and find an old, rusty, discarded car spring partially buried in the snow. Alas, such plans are harder to realize at this time, as the move is in its unpacking and storage stages. The snow is gone here, but I’m sure there must be something like this somewhere. It would be even better with daffodils.
When I last checked the site, there was at least one photo of little daffodils trying to come up through the snow. Brave creatures.
So you have officially reached the destination of your new home?
Well, not exactly. I’m at my parents’ for now. Job searching is on-going.
I wish you much luck!
Awwww!I want a mule! And because I live in Missouri I should have one. To which Mlle. Renee replied, “One dumb ass around here is more than enough for me.”
You could have probably gotten a donkey for free during the drought. But they like equine company, so you’d have had to take two. Renee would have felt outnumbered.
Well, she’s currently cohabiting with a pair of squirrels in the back yard. Weird dog … when you say “squirrel, squirrel” she looks at you with that happy face of hers.
That’s because she is a sweet, peaceful dog.
