After the Church Service

Upon the freshly fallen snow
Outside a church a horse and buggy
Waits for the owner to arrive
They are going for a ride
To a farm that has a sleigh ride

In the farmer's field close by
Enjoying the sleigh ride
Hot chocolate is served
After the sleigh ride
The children will have coca

With a tasty snack to enjoy

Sounds like a crisp early Winter New England morning, Darlene. I have many memories of those, having lived in New Hampshire for four years (through four long, yet beautiful, winters). Thanks, gw
