Minnesota Prairie Roots

The foreground tree to the right of the path marks the location of the mysterious discovery.

A WALK ALONG A RECREATIONAL trail in Dundas on Sunday afternoon yielded a magical discovery at the base of a tree.

I don’t generally glance downward when searching for photo ops. But this day I did and noticed a small toy white horse.

I don’t know the story of who placed the horse here or why. Sometimes mysteries are better left unsolved.

I reacted by embracing this enchanting discovery, of letting my imagination imagine, of accepting the joy this brought to me on a day when I needed joy.

TELL ME: If you have any ideas on this mystery, please share.
