Remember the castle library that I showed you last spring? Well, when I was walking by with the parade a few weeks ago, the doorway caught my eye, so I took a picture of it. Isn't that a great looking entrance?

Little Dog
This lucky little doggie got to participate in the Veterans' Day Parade. Her mom held her during the Memorial Service. She was taking it all in and seemed happy to be out with all the people!

West Paris Honor Roll
This is one of two memorials in the park that are engraved with the names of local veterans.
Here is the back side...
Just as I was taking the picture, the mother that spoke at the service stepped into the shot, but I think it's quite fitting to see the soldier's portrait, along with his name on the memorial.
Tomorrow I'll show you the second memorial...

Patriotic Truck
This truck was all decked out for the parade! It was proudly driven by a local veteran and his family.

Bundled up!
It was bitterly COLD! BRRRR! The wind blew little snowflakes around, but we persevered and marched!! This is my littlest, honored to be carrying the American Flag in the parade.

Veterans' Day Parade
Everyone gathered in front of the elementary school before the parade. We were early, so I had the boys pose in front of the sign...

Beaver Dam
This is the dam that makes my husband nervous. It is whesthe pond originally drained down into the brook. I think they've done a pretty good job building it, don't you? But, I can understand his anxiety since our driveway is downstream...
Today the boys are marching with their Cub Scout Pack in the West Paris Veterans' Day Parade, so starting tomorrow I'll be posting a whole bunch of pictures from that event!

Beaver Pond
This past summer, a pair of beavers moved into our little pond. We now have a big pond! Unfortunately, it is located upstream of our driveway, which makes my husband nervous. If the beaver dam should break, it would wash away! The boys and I think they're really, really cool though and over the next few days I'll show you some of their building project...This shot is looking over the biggest portion of the pond. Daisy thinks it's great! You can just barely see the beaver's house in the background.

Muddy Horses
We got a lot of rain overnight, which made the pasture muddy. Apparently Kitch thought it would be a great idea to roll around and get dirty! I figure he's sticking his tongue out at me in response to my, "OHMIGOSH! You're a mess, Kitch!!" I don't think he cares. ;-) I thought it was funny how Tillie was just peeking up over him, hoping that I wouldn't notice how muddy she was too...

Lazy & Daisy
A few years ago, we had a foal during hunting season, so I purchased this foal sized blaze orange blanket. As a joke, and since it doesn't fit any of our real horses anymore, I put it on Lazy yesterday. Daisy was very curious and the boys got a big laugh out of it!

Better Safe than Sorry
Hunting Season started this past Saturday. Here's Lily all dressed up in her blaze orange blanket! Every year my husband and I debate whether or not this is necessary - would a hunter really mistake one of our horses for a deer? Well, each year, somewhere, that does happen, so I always dress the horses in these blankets and braid orange ribbons in their manes & tails. Perhaps it's foolish, but on the other hand, I know that during the month of November I do not walk into the woods without wearing orange, so I don't see any reason why I would send my beloved horses out there without it...

November 2008 Theme Day: Books
Here is my collection of the writings of my very favorite author, Dick Francis. That he is my favorite author may not come as a huge surprise, considering my love of all things equine, but you might not have realized that I also love a good mystery. Dick Francis' books generally involve mysteries of the horse racing industry. They are excellent and I would highly recommend them!
