While visions of sugar plums dance.......

Christmas at my homestead......
      just a few pics to remember this year by.......

Pink, white and lavender...my favorite Christmas colors!

Christmas is never Christmas without a punchbowl full of snow balls..

One of these Christmas's I will remove those nasty lights from that gorgeous angels hands...

 

Glad tidings!

my signature white dove...did you know that dove mate for a lifetime?

Angels we have heard on high...

 

 

 

 

My kitchen widow sill scene...

cannot have a Victorian village without horses!

sledding children...

Bringing home the Christmas tree!

 

 

I usually do a Christmas decoration blog, but as I began the arduous task of taking my tree down, realized I had not posted any pictures. So here they are. I hope your Christmas was blessed by the presence of Christ and His marvelous grace.

 

Merry Christmas

Bless your heart! And Happy New Year!

Been thinking about doing a blog about a "personality disorder". Have even written 3 on the computer. And then? God steps in and gives me a word. So this is the best I can do. But I think you will get the point and I hope it helps you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My heavenly Father ALWAYS has the last Word. This hurts no matter who you are and who is attacking you but God says, "FORGIVE as I have forgiven you". Can we do any less? God says, "PRAY for those who persecute you". Can we do any less? Not if we love the Lord with all our heart, with all our mind and with all our soul. On that day, when we stand before a holy and righteous God, I will ask Him, God Almighty, that all that was done against me by YOU be not held against you. After all. I have Him. YOU have nothing but the lies. Repent. Before it is too late.

 

Happy New Year

Time for a party.....

Have not written for quite some time. Things have been really busy but the fall is always a fun time for me and you will rarely find me inside.

 

Between Siri` being sick and going back and forth to the vet, trying to get the posts in for Bo's new pen and the temporary round pen up, getting the fencing done for the dogs and the garden fence in, PLUS getting masks made for the facilities Halloweenie thingy....WHEW! Just reading this makes me tired.

 

So these are the masks.....

 

My friend JM

Both of us, although whomever said black is slimming was a big, fat liar........



 

We also welcomed a new member to our family, (another blog altogether when I figure out how to get these photos off of a new device I purchased)! I will be glad to welcome in November.

 

For now, I hope your October was as lovely as mine, albeit busy! And happy, happy November!

 





Scary things......

Scary things.

Things that go bump in the night.

Big hairy bugs on your ceiling.

Rattlesnakes on your front porch.

OR?

Coming home to find your horse in a puddle of blood.

Nothing like giving a horse mom a heart attack! I came home on Thursday to find my sweet Siri` standing in a puddle of bright red blood! And not just a little puddle! A HUGE puddle!

 

I checked her all over and could not find any injury. Good gut sounds, no fever, no raised heart rate, good respirations and good pink gums. But then it happened. Siri` squatted and urinated....TOTAL blood. So off to the vet we go. AND?

 

Nothing. We could not find a stinkin' thing wrong in the blood work, in the urine sample, NOT. A. THING. Nothing in the vaginal exam and all the other exams. So we sent blood off to the Equine Center in Las Vegas and they found nothing either.

 

What. The. Hay???

 

Friday evening it stopped. No sign of anything through the rest of the weekend. Siri` seems to be in good spirits and doing fine.

 

ME?

 

I have a few more gray hairs and a depleted bank account.

 

I love that girl!

 

 

 

8/30/2016 Addendum

Siri` again had blood issuing yesterday and last night. I took her totally off of anything but Bermuda hay and her pellets. I am worried. Please pray for my sweet Siri`.



Dreaming..........

 

 

The monsoon rains will soon end. The days are getting shorter and nights are clear and crisp. Fall will soon be here.

 

I am dreaming of fall because it is my favorite season of the year. I LOVE the expectancy that is in the air. As if you must hurry to soak up every last ray of sunshine. It never lasts long enough and I still feel the excitement of the smell of new pencils and erasers. Sweaters and corduroy pants, boots and fleecy gloves....and the COLORS! Oh. My!

 

I love the colors! And so I share with you some favorites....so you might begin to dream also!

 

 

 

Happy weekend, my friend!
