The carousel animals are all native to MA. <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2013/08/30/amalie-kass-lead-donor-greenway-carousel-seeing-philantropy-fun/hhgeKBRtA8jjRBt4NyRpxL/story.html" rel="nofollow">Here's the article</a> if you want to take a look.

Thank you for returning to PF, bringing with you the happy sounds and sights of childhood... I've begun collecting/displaying carousel horse figurines these last few years--ever since an opening-day faculty mtg. when I responded to the question of which animal I would be & why by surprising myself saying "a carousel horse." I keep promising myself I will flesh out the very brief reason I offered that day..As soon as I figure out what the fleshed-out reason is...In that vein, I think your Haiku gives me something to think about. God bless you! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242799850857058817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-48681246085276482292015-11-28T08:36:10.212-05:002015-11-28T08:36:10.212-05:00Great to see you last weekend, passing like two ho...Great to see you last weekend, passing like two horses on the carousel. With a house full, I am still finding these early morning hours belong to me alone. The world refocuses momentarily.

Nice to share a thought about them, but it's a little sad that it's an analogy of our lives sometimes (or often?).

I hate carousels now, so it shouldn't matter to me, but they used to go up and down!
