The Moment That I Realized That My Donkeys Are Much Better Looking Than I
Did you have a chance to see the full moon this week?
If you did not...
I saved one just for you!
Isn't that just spectacular?
I never tire of looking at the nighttime sky.
I am fascinated by the moon and stars and the enormity of what lies beyond.
Mind-boggling, not?
Yesterday, I awoke to a beautiful sunny day...
I love seeing our horses grazing in the front pasture!
Every morning as the school bus passes the front pasture,
I imagine the kids inside looking out seeing the horses and donkeys grazing.
When I was a child, this sight would have been my favorite part of the morning...
it still is!
By afternoon, clouds moved in with the threat of rain looming.
I believe that rain will be with us today.
I took a little extra time to visit with Daphne and Chloe.
One of my favorite things is to sit in the dirt of their dry lot and just let them hang out with me.
They nibble my hair, my boots, my hands...
They rest their heads on my shoulders.
(I tried to take a selfie with the girls and I.... goodness... I looked a wreck!)
Ok...you asked for it....
Seriously...no make up...don't think I even brushed my hair....yup.....a wreck!
But, life's too short for letting vanity get the best of me.
I love these two gals.
They are sweet and gentle and tolerant.
Ok, well maybe not to the dogs....
but certainly with humans they are wonderful!
I also spent a little time working on wedding things.
Burlap bows, for decorating, with fabric flowers in the center...
And then made a couple of bracelets....
(one - olive green, one - purple, both fairly small)
I truly need to get bracelets into my marketplace.
(Note to self...add a few hours to each day!)
Tomorrow is Saturday...
time for a Walk On The Wild Side #2.
I will be sharing this week's photos from our two trail cams in the 100 acre woods.
I can hardly wait to see what we caught this week!
Stop by tomorrow and I will share it with you!
