He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

I bless the hoss from hoof to head -
From head to hoof, and tale to mane! -
I bless the hoss, as I have said,
From head to hoof, and back again!
~James Whitcomb Riley

The horses paw and prance and neigh,
Fillies and colts like kittens play,
And dance and toss their rippled manes
Shining and soft as silken skeins;...
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.
~Stanley Harrison

My horse's feet are as swift as rolling thunder
He carries me away from all my fears
And when the world threatens to fall asunder
His mane is there to wipe away my tears.
~Bonnie Lewis

Good Morning :)

Wanted to pop in and say hello. We are having a wonderful time with Coastie home. I'm dreading his leaving next week.

I hope everyone is well! Wishing you all a terrific day!

A YELLOW FLOWER

A yellow flower—brave 'though a bit shy
wanted so badly to jump up and fly.

His wish was bigger than all other things
and one day he grew two small yellow wings.

He got colored spots that gave him power—
a butterfly's born out of the flower.

A blue flower now wants to jump and fly
but somehow he can't—he still wonders why.

His wish might not be as big as the sky
or he just cannot be a butterfly.

What the planet would look like—a bird sings—
if all the flowers got butterfly wings?

I know you are having fun with your son! (((HUGS)))

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi (((Meg)))
How are you? :)
We are having so much fun. Time is going fast. We've been so busy and today we can finally just relax a bit.

The deer ate a lot of the roses and quite a few other plants....
.
Time to put up deer fencing. ;)

[MEG33]

Oh my! It does seem time for fencing..
I am fine...I am having to catch up on some paperwork, business affairs lately..Busy!

My hummingbirds are really giving me a treat this year..I see one just now with a spider web hanging from it’s tail..One got caught once at my daughter’s in one huge web with a big black and yellow spider..She freed it before the spider got to it...She was yelling and I went out to see what she was upset about! The web of course was then knocked down.

Good Morning to all!
Just coming in for a brief moment to say Hello. I am busy today as it looks as if granddaughter Shelby will be released from the hospital back to outpatient tomorrow. If this be the case, she will probably come here with my daughter for a overnight as it is closer to the hospital than all the way to La Verne. Pray for us!

Hugs and Loads of love...love the graphic beauty here as always.

Of truth and love and care,

Hi G.B., that is such a sweet graphic. Glad to hear you are getting to enjoy your wonderful son. Time does go fast for us when we are enjoying ourselves so much. Like the saying “Time flies when you’re having fun”. Grab it all while you can!
