Dec. when did it get here?

Hello,
Where does the time go,last time I looked it was Nov.
It has been a interesting month, some great times and some really bad times. My van broke down(major) so I no longer have transportion and no way of getting anything. I have my horses but no saddle or bridel yet.
But I do have good friends and family and all my little furry friends so my life is good.
I love living in Ky. and am happy with my choice to move here. I'm home!
All the cats have been sick with URI and that has been and still is a battle but I am hoping that soon it will be under control.
My cusions and thier little dog, from Gaylord MI. have moved in with me so we have quite the household and are never bored.
Any way thats all the updates I have for now, take care and have a Merry Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi,
I hope that everyone is enjoying this day.
It is sunny here and will be a nice day. After all the rain we have had i am looking forward to several sunny days in a row. So are the cats and horses. The horses will like having a dry paddock and I will too.
We are looking forward to turkey and all the trimmings.
It has been a rough year , but yet there is so much to be Thankful for.
Family, good friends,all of my fur family ,freedom, nature and the peacefulness of the land around me, birds singing, deer and turkey strolling across the pasture.
May you find all that you are seeking within yourself to fill you with peace and joy.

Here it is Sept. Already

Hi, I can't believe that I haven't written in here sense May. A lot has happened, septic system kept messing up.(fixed now I hope) The brakes went on my van,fixed but need some minor work yet. Puff and Pathom had kittens,they are six months and five months old. Puff got away before we could get her to the vets and her second litter and Puff are in my bedroom. She had four in each litter.
I own a horse and a half.My friend and I own a stallion(soon to be a gelding.) Mo`Biscuit is Five and he is 14 hands tall. My filly, Star is 2,she will be three in May, she is 15 hands tall (60 inches) and a Tennessee Walking horse. Those two and my friends horse, KoKo ,a five year old TWH will be staying in my pasture. So I have a full house and a lot to keep me busy. I love it .

A walk down the lane

Yesterday was one of those days that you wish you had stayed in bed,everything that could go wrong did.
Towards evening I decided to take a walk down the lane and take some pictures. It helped to clear my head and bring some peace to the turmoil deep inside. And life goes on, you just have to remember to take the time to smell the flowers along the way and refresh your soul.

A peaceful Sunday

Good Day,
It's a nice sunny day with a bit of a breeze, I've only been outside to feed the birds and check the plants I planted the other day. Today is a restful day.
As you can see I have pictures of the kittens,they are getting big and are starting to get around a bit more now.
I am closer to getting a horse and that is kind of exciting. It is something that is worth waiting for that's for sure.
Well that's all for now,see you later.

A chilly and damp day

Hello,
It is a damp and chilly morning, the cats want the door open and I dont. Since I am the only one who can open the door I have won this battle.
Yesterday I mowed the lawn...With the push mower again,the key I ordered doesn't fit my rider, good excirse I guess.
In a few minintes I will have to take the time to fill up the bird feeders and that means I will have to put some food out for my "cat nieces" from next door. They get fed very well but have had their litters so they tell me that they are extra hungry. So I put some dry food out for them. One of them brought me a mouse. I thought that was really nice of her.
Well I should get going as I am sure the birds are running low on their sunflower seeds.
See you later.

Another Day

Hi,
Another bright , sunny day has come and is going, another road trip ie: shopping therapy trip. Tomorrow Peg and I go on another road trip but this time Its to go and have a MRI done on my shoulder, I am sure we will still enjoy the ride and sights . Tomorrow is also Kentucky Oaks day, it is all about the fillies. Then on Saturday the Kentucky Derby , very cool.
The other day I went with Vince to the big barn and took a couple pictures of his new stud horse. I am going to sign off as I want to give my Mom a call. Will see you all later.

Partly Sunny

Good Morning,
Today May 1st is to be party sunny with a chance of storms after five pm. Today I have to finnish cutting the grass with my push mower as I still cannot find my keys to the rider.I ordered new keys from the company that I bought the mower from but surprise they dont work. So as I start cutting yesterday I am feeling partly sunny myself. The cloudy side of things is knowing I'm going to be hurting after I'm done but the sunny side is how pretty it's going to look when it is finished. I will have to try and get it done today before the storm.
But really isn't that like our life's ? We have sunny days,cloudly days,days that are filled with stormy torment. We grab on the whatever we need to to get through the storms so that when the sunny days are back we enjoy them to the fullest because we have weathered the storms.
On the plus side keeping the grass cut helps to keep the snakes away from the house.

Rain is on it's way.

Hello,
We have rain on it's way but that is ok, except the grass keeps growing and the lawnmower isn't running. Oh well such is life.
The other day I took a nice walk out back and spent some time by the creek, just being in nature. It was wonderful ! With the creek flowing by and the bird's singing it was a day to be remembered. I can't help to feel truely blessed. Poor in money but rich in way's that money cannot buy. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if I am dreaming or really awake.
Here are a couple picture's that I took on my walk and I will be back later.

A good day to all,
Yesterday Peggy and I went to town to the neat thrift shops and I picked up a nice(old) serving bowl and a matching suger bowl and two shirts,for fall. One is a red western shirt that I think I am going to give to Peggy for her husband Vince. His work is around horses so I think he would get more out of it then I would. My foal isn't born yet, sometime in late June or July and my next one is still in the planing stage. That one will be a cross of Tenn. Walker and a Ky.Mountain horse. The stud is black with white blaze and the mare is a sorall(sp). Red with a "blonde" mane. The one I am waiting on now is from a Tenn. Walker stud, all black and it will be from one of two mares. SO I can't tell you much more til its born.
This morning I woke and there was a male Blue Bird in my Oak tree that stands right outside my windows I was able to get a couple of nice pictures of him. I got to thinking that even with the differnt problems that I have in my life I am still blessed. I have seven lovely cats, good friends and a nice place in this world. Soon I will have a couple foals,to raise from the age of 3 or 4 months old. My cousion and her husband are going to move down by me as well so all and all I can't complain.
I hope you all have a great day.

A new start,a fresh beginning.

With spring comes the promise of life, a fresh start. The redbud's and dogwood's are in bloom. Foals , calf's, and kitten's are walking about on their wobbly little legs,their cry's for Mom can be heard across the hollers and over the ridges.
And their Mom's answer. All is right with the world.
Everything is greening up and there are bud's unpon the shrub's and the tree's are unfurl their leaves. The sounds of songbirds fill the air. Soon to be nesting and bringing new life into the world,the promise of more songs to come.

Sometimes I cry

Good Morning,
Sometimes a overwhelming sense of sadness overtakes me without warning. It's like being broadside. However it is up to me how I handle it,do I embrace those feeling or do I stand back and say to myself pick your self up and move on. I guess it depends on what those feelings are and what brought them on. I allow myself to feel the pain for a while till I sort out where it came from and why,then I try to deal with it. Certain things I have no control over and I have to give them over to God. Other things I can do something about and those things I do my best to fix. And sometimes I cry.

Thinking,thinking,thinking.

Hello,
It has been a while sence last I've written. Getting settled in takes a while and I am still working at it.In the end it will all be worth it.
Behind my house is a little patch of woods,a place I go to sit and enjoy the sounds of nature.A place to relax when life's issue's grow to heavy and you need to let them go. I have a seat set up in there and I always take my camera with me. I have gotten some good pictures of birds and plants.
Soon though I will be sharing part of the woods with a foal which I will be getting around July I think. It is not born yet so I can't tell you anything more then that at this time.
Angel,Bailey and a little white cat that was a roamer and was hit by a car down the road,my neighbor and I saw her and we got a box to bury her in and named her Sunshine, they are all buried at the edge of my little patch of woods.They are on a rise and over look the rolling hills out back. A perfect resting spot for them.
I took these picture about two weeks ago.I hope you enjoy them.
