Reminiscing:  The Innocence of Children

This is one of my favorite photos of my children growing up. At the time of the photo, we lived in the country on a 35 acre farm and they spent most of their time outside in the fresh air.  The farm we lived on incorporated a small lake (or a big pond) - large enough to have a boat to paddle around in or to fish from (although I don't remember many fish being caught)  and it had a small waterfall that the kids played in.  In this idyllic setting in the piney woods, the kids also had two dogs, two horses (they were pony size and one of them named Patches had a little limp in his gait as he trotted happily around) a milk goat, a rabbit, a ferret and a noisy little toad. (there were many more down by the lake). For a very short time we had a wolf cub who was hurt but not badly.  We found him near the house and put him in a big cage to rest.  We gave him goat's milk from Heidi our goat but he definitely was not happy.  He was a wild animal not a domestic pet so he was only with us for a few days before we let him go back to the woods.

​When we bought Misty, the other little horse, she was a bit "pudgy" but, as time went on, the "pudgy" got bigger and one morning we were greeted with a surprise and Misty had had a foal.  We named him Thunder and he made a lovely addition to our little farm.  

Those were sweet times, and although everyone has now moved on, I will always remember those days and the innocence of their childhood.
