The Barn by Ralph Hagen for October 14, 2011

And a nasty trick it is.

Rory, you need to wear a helmet if you’re going to play on the ice.

So true, Rory. I’ve had a few run-ins with black ice myself. Not fun!

Mother nature has a real nasty streak.

Poor Rory! Did you fall tail over tea kettle?

Gotta watch out for that black ice, Rory! Be careful my little lamb!

I didn’t know Rory was at a party.?

You need a helmet to protect your brain! (Well, OK, in your case, it may not be all that important…)

Mother Nature just loves to play tricks on us.
