Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

There are two adorable little girls who belong to one of our farm people.  I got to meet them not long ago.  They seem quite sweet and smart and well-behaved and they really love the horses.  That's for sure. 

You know what they did?  You will not believe this, I promise...

A few weeks ago they had the idea, all by themselves, to try and raise some money so that the farm people could save a horse from an auction where Unspeakable Things occur. The girls thought long and hard about how they could do this.  At first, they weren't sure what they could possibly do.  They are only small children, after all.  Well, they thought and thought and thought some more.  And this is what they thought up.  

The girls are both learning to play instruments.  One is getting quite good at "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".  They thought they might play their instruments to raise some money.  So they made a sign and asked their mother to take them to town, and they set up on the sidewalk and played. And the town people who happened to walk by stopped to listen, and they read the sign and they learned about the horses that need help and they gave their hard-earned money to the girls so they could help a horse.  That is just amazing and heroic if you ask me. 

Well, these little girls played and played and raised enough money so that a very special boy horse, who was so scared, panicked, and frantic at the auction could come home to our farm.  The girls named him Justice, which is a very fine name.  Justice knows what the girls did and he loves them quite a lot for it.  See, the farm people (and children) love the horses, and the horses love them right back.  They know what the farm people do to help them.  Some of you might think this is silly, but it is very true.  I know. 

Anyway, while this might seem like a simple story about two little girls and some music, it is much more than that.  It is a very important story because it tells you what love can do.  And determination.  And the generosity of people...  which is what this place is all about.  


Thank you, little musicians... 

Love,
