There is a house I really like near where I live. It’s an older house, an A-Frame, and by modern standards it’s not much to look at. Still, it reminds me of simpler times and I especially like the front gate.

One day, I was surprised to see a mule in the front yard.
Not that seeing a mule in a front yard is surprising where I live.
But, even in Oklahoma, I wonder about a mule waiting on the front porch – or at the front door.
I’ve come to expect her waiting for me when I take my evening walk.
And I really do like the front gate 🙂
