A Little Wind, A Little Challenge, A Big Thank-You!
Happy February 1st, y'all!
I have to tell you,
I have to tell you,
you truly got my creative juices flowing yesterday...
so many great ideas!
Thanks a bunch.
If anything else percolates to the surface, please share with me...
I am always searching for ideas.
We have been on a roller coaster ride of weather this week.
From snow to temps in the 50's (snow melted),
then fierce winds, rain, more wind, cold, more snow squalls ....
all in the span of three days time!
Yesterday, the colder temperatures and high winds seemed to have the horses all stirred up.
I usually keep them out of the front pasture when it is so wet,
but I felt sorry for them and let them out for a good run!
(Who is that woman who keeps yelling at Sam?)
As you can see in the video,
they had a blast.
And so did "Bad Sammy".
Please understand, they are quite used to Sammy running with them.
It doesn't seem to bother the horses at all.
In fact, the "Littles" often taunt Sammy until he gives chase.
And don't worry about Sam, he is quite nimble and always avoids their feet.
So... I must share something with you.
Something I have learned out of necessity.
There are times when we peer out of our windows and look at the world
with its wild weather, cold temperatures, high winds, etc.
and make the decision to stay indoors.
(Some of us don't have this option, however.)
I challenge you this:
Next time you look outdoors and think you would rather just stay inside,
get out your "bad weather" clothes; pull on your hat and your boots,
and go for a walk out in it.
Feel the rush of the cold wind in your lungs.
Feel the rain or sleet or snow on your face.
For those moments, when you would otherwise be indoors in your easy chair,
you will feel completely alive and a part of nature.
It's exhilarating!!
You won't be sorry... I promise!
PS: Here are yesterday's projects from the sewing room....
Another large zippered, quilted tote bag
And a quilted, lined, zippered pouch for an I-pad
or Kindle (for the cat lover)
