The story for this block revolves around a group named The Oberlin Rescuers who were sympathetic to African Americans being free and being able to obtain an education such as was available at Oberlin College.
I must admit that what was mainly holding up getting this block posted was that I was drawing a blank on how to do my "fun" photo shoot. Thinking I had read that The Oberlin Rescuers rode horseback in their efforts I went on my own scouting mission to the toy archives to find some horses.
I had fun with a setup using the horses and a couple of potato vines to echo the lime green and got the photo I had been thinking about.
Alas, I have just reread the story for the block and I can't really find that riding horseback featured all that much. Oh well. They did ride in carriages so horses were involved!
My calendar for the upcoming week is very busy so I'm not sure how soon the August block will get made. But it will be completed before the September one is published.

Something about your horse and block reminded me of the Wizard of Oz's Horse of a Different Color - only in your case, it was the Yellow Brick Road of a different color - or something. Anyway, it's a very clever picture of a lovely block. Glad to know you are not slipping so far behind after your Excellent Italian Adventure!
