little river

recently i have become aware of the fact that my thighs are growing rather large.  when dr. started work i decided that i too would get up at 5:15 in the morning and get a walk in.  my first few walks were very pleasant.  everyday it seemed like it was getting hotter and hotter.  one day as i was admiring the yards and i spotted what looked like a miniature horse.  (really, how would this be possible.  our neighborhood is in the jackson city limits and a thoroughfare connecting the suburbs to downtown.) i must be hallucinating, i thought.  at first it seemed like a statue but as i neared the yard, it moved.  i don't know if there is a word describing how startled i was.  since i thought there was a possibility i could be experiencing symptoms of heat stroke, when dr. got home from work, i insisted he go see mini horse with me.  when dr. and i drove by that afternoon there were two girls holding onto the electric fence surrounding the horse and petting it.  so, it is true.  there is a mini horse in our neighborhood.  there is also a mini stable and mini horse jumps.  long live little river.
