• Holiday Grief

  It is always November that I sense my grief so intensely, (or I used to). The surge of Christmas preparations beginning and all gift ideas and recipes with the family sent me into a hurtful tail spin. I no longer have that pain in November as I have worked through it. There should be 4 […]

• when you miss the mark

  I am sometimes misunderstood. People’s perceptions of me are so wrong so much of the time. Maybe they are just not paying enough attention. Things get a bit blurry. Did I miss the mark or did they? lol! It feels uncomfortable when I am misunderstood and find myself in someone’s spider web and you don’t […]

• play date

  Our friend came over with her two little boys yesterday and it was a fun time just playing. We had noodle fights, visited our horses in the pasture and then halloween cupcake snacks in between. It was a good feeling to play like a child and follow their imaginations. A play date to remember. Until […]

• the purpose of horses manes

  If you don’t have long hair yourself you can always play with a horses’ mane. But, what is the purpose of their manes and a tail? I researched some general information and this is what is said about the mane and tail of a horse: I never braid my horse’s mane or tail. If I […]

• it’s time to revive

  Summer time is great. Spring is hopeful. Winter is a force to reckon with. Fall. Autumn . This is so exciting to be soon entering into that season. I know that spring is a time of renewal but I enjoy the clean up chores around the yard and thinking about pulling on a cozy sweater […]

• Summer horse riding with mosquitoes

  I would like to say I did alot of horse riding this summer, but not so, only because of the vast amount of mosquitoes we had in June and July. August has got us out riding a bit more. Time is spent putting bug repellent on the horses firstly, and they will tolerate the smell […]

• open the gate

  Opening and closing pasture gates has never been a simple thing. It seems each gate has a different method to open and close. This gate closure is a tight clamp and it takes a bit of force to squeeze it down.
