Tumbleweed paced around the old cars.
He looked inside at the interior. Then got spooked by the image in the side mirror. The horse in the mirror run away from the car too.
‘Hmmm, they put them car things out to pasture. I wonder how that other horse fit in that tiny place. The humans are so strange. At least, they left room to rub up against those pieces on front and back’
Tumbleweed looks around the corral. No sign of that other horse. He sighs.
How delightful. I find humans strange too not to talk of Tumbleweed.

Animals are very curious. Or maybe they don’t like their places having new things added to them. People are so hard to understand, let alone e deal with. 😉

Nicely done…interiors and side mirrors.

Thank you darling! My tom cat doesn’t understand mirrors either. We put one of error a door in the hall, the first timehe saw his reflection he thought there was another cat in the house. It took the days before he wouldn’t look at that mirror.
