Some roads you take with a purpose in mind, but I prefer roads that lead to the unexpected. I took these photos on an old farm road that hugs the Connecticut River near my husband's hometown. We were just wandering when we discovered Cruise, who, according to the sign on his fence, gets bellyaches from apples, but loves carrots, and can eat as many as you give him.
Sadly, we had no carrots, but we made promises to Cruise for our next visit. I suppose this means that this little back road will now have a purpose.
Somehow I think it will still hold plenty of surprises, too.

Love what you have done with these photos. The colors are wonderful. And what a fun name for a horse! Going on (a) Cruise, see you at dinner!
It is good to see you back with some gorgeous photos! Love the processing you added...sweet:)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Gigi!
I love that Cruise's owners took the time put up a sign.
this is why maps should stay behind once in a while. or get lost. i smiled my whole way through this and know y'all must've done the same on your drive. i love the idea of the sign and love that cruise's people know others will honor their words. lucky cruise. lucky you!!

What a handsome lad is Cruise--great name too! Happy to see you here, Gigi... Wishing you & yours a happy & blessed Thanksgiving week :o) ((LOVE & HUGS))
Two of my favorite things, country roads that you take for no reason and beautiful horses! So sweet the sign his people put up and so wonderful the images you got ~ glad you shared, Gigi.
Lovely surprises and a purpose with carrots for next time. How fun to meet Cruise.
Cruise is gorgeous and your pictures really tell a story! I hope you have been doing well!!
i LOVE days spent like this...no mission but most definitely ending up with a purpose... a purpose of absolute relaxation.
What a gorgeous horse, I think I would visit him often.
The meal has been eaten.
The kitchen is clean.
The leftovers are stashed.
The walk has been taken.
Everyone is happy and fed and blessed.
Now I have the time to stop by.
On this Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to tell you that I am thankful for you; for this blog; for inspiration and connection; for your friendship. Sending you much love, Relyn
