And God took a handful of southerly wind,

blew His breath over it and created the horse.

Life Is A Journey

Do you ever feel like you can't find the end of the road?

Feel like you're always spinning your wheels?

Can't see the light at the end of the tunnel?

I feel that way a lot of days.

Wonder what God 's plan is ?

It is good to have an end to journey towards,

but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Ursula K LeGuin

I've learned patience...I'm grateful... I focus on being positive...

Dream big...

I know my God will always direct my path...

Horse Show

My sister, A Cowgirls Grace and I were going to ride

on Saturday, but decided to go to a horse show.

We had 5 gals from our stable showing. Sometimes we

get in a rut. Do the same thing over and over and over.

Change is good.

We really enjoyed ourselves.

The girls did awesome!

I thought I'd share this with you.

I know a lot of you have mixed feelings about this

kind of performance.

I found it interesting.

But wonder about the future health of these horses.

What do you think?

Peek A Boo Tuesday

Welcome to Peek A Boo Tuesday

Hosted by

"A Cowgirl's Grace"

You all know that the thing I LOVE to do the most

is spend time with my copper pony.

He is my PASSION. I would move to the barn and

share his stall if I could!!!

Before Dusty came into my life I had another passion.

Enter my door and see my past addiction!

BEACHCOMBING!!!

Yes, I was a beachcombing addict.

Sunset at the beach where we lived .

I would spend hours, and hours and HOURS looking for treasures.

Rosie was my constant beach companion.

In fact, Cowboy was addicted too, and all of our friends.

Cowgirls Grace and I would pack a lunch and

spend 4 to 5 hours out there.

Sometimes we would spot the same agate shining

down the beach and run for it!!!

WE would race to see who would get out there first in the morning.

We would have to brag about our finds for the day.

Who had the biggest!

Who had the prettiest!

How many!

Sometimes you would come upon treasures like these

and be in heaven.

Other times you would see them poking out of the sand and

you would have to dig them up.

I have not been beachcombing for 2 years.

I have been thinking about it a lot lately.

It is best to go out right after it has been really stormy.

Love seeing the wildlife.

Seagulls, blue heron, seals

Agates and petrified wood
bright sunlight usually helps by reflecting glint or gleams


buoys

sea glass~prized gems

smooth, frosty, opaque

tossed, weathered

smashed many, many times into the ocean floor

polished by waves and sand

glass floats


I can feel the excitement just looking at this!

digging to see what I can find

I never could get enough!

I would tell myself just one more when I found something.

One more would always be five, or ten or twenty more!

I could not stop!

I was ADDICTED!

I have had my treasures packed away.

I think it is time to bring them out to show you soon!

Dusty Rocks

It's here!

I am so excited!

Doc helped me set things up today. Dusty was all over him.

He was so funny.

I thought he was just really happy to see

him and wanted some lovin'! Doc is trying' to quit smoking.

He had some non-tabacco mint flavored snoose in his mouth

and that was what Dusty was smelling.

He wanted some.

The copper pony would not leave him alone!


Dusty moved around so much, my pictures are blurry!

Doc finally gave Dusty some "snoose" to try!

He loved it! I will have to get him some

peppermint treats.

This is my favorite picture.

Again he's moving his head all over the place.

Dusty was so good during all of this.

Thank you Doc for all your help, and for

your PATIENCE with my boy for bugging the heck out of you!

I love this color on Dusty.

I'm hoping to get the matching breast color and headstall soon.

Here we are. All dressed up.

The copper pony has not been ridden in two months.

He was a bit bored with the arena today.

It is not his favorite thing to do.

He thought he needed to go left when I wanted to go right!

It felt good to be back in the saddle again.

Now we just need to get out and ride those trails!!!

He has a mind of his own.

A horse gallops with his lungs,

Preservers with his heart,

And wins with his character.

TO-DAY!


With every rising of the sun

Think of your life as just begun.

The Past has canceled and buried deep

All yesterdays. There let them sleep.

Concern yourself with but today.

Grasp it and teach it to obey

Your will and plan. Since time began.

Spring Fever

These little cutie's are blooming down the street!

They are called snowdrops, snowbells, or spring snowflakes!

They are early, hardy, spring-blooming jewels.

My first experience with these precious little beauties
was 18 years ago. They were peeking up through the snow
at out neighbors house. I fell in love with them.
I don't know why I have never had any in my yard.


Lovely!

Peek A Boo Tuesdays "Showtime"

Grab some popcorn, a box of tissues, find a seat, and enjoy!

He meets a wolf he dubs "Two Socks."

He eventually is accepted into the local Sioux tribe

and is known as "Dances With Wolves."

He is enanoured by the beautiful "Stands With A Fist."

Soon after, the frontier becomes no more,

and as the army advances on the plains,

John must make a decision that will not only affect him,

but also the lives of the natives

he now calls His people.

his dying memories of the romance that

tragically alters his life.

answers for a crime from his past.

while Grace and her horse Pilgrim are seriously injured,

both physically and mentally.

In an attempt to bring Pilgrim back from his now savage condition,

Grace's mother Annie takes them to Montana in search

for Tom Booker.

Tom is a "horse whisperer", a cowboy

with the ability to "communicate" with horses.

The cowboy slowly heals the Souls of Pilgrim and Grace.

in her journey to meet the

They were helped along the way by the Good Witch of the North,

but she's also in trouble with the Wicked Witch of the West,

who seeks revenge for the death of her Sister,

The Wicked Witch of the East,

which she blames Dorothy.

1939

The epic tale of a woman's life during one of the most

tumultuous periods in America's history.

From her young, innocent day on a beautiful plantation

her beloved "TARA"

to the war-torn streets of Atlanta.

"Scarlett O'Hara"

From her first love whom she always desired

to her three husbands;

from the utmost luxury to absolute starvation

and poverty;

and comprehension of life.

1940

with her stuffy employer, meets

the wealthy Maxim De Winter.

Rebecca, in a boating accident the year before.

Mrs. Danvers, and discovers Rebecca still has a strange

hold on everyone at "Manderlay."

2001

The year is 1899, and Christian,

a young English, has come to Paris to follow

the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's

drug and prostitute infested underworld.

And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more

alive that at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where

the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by

the dancers, but they take a wicked turn for

Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with

the star contessa of the club, Satine.

But her affections are also coveted by the club's patron,

The Duke.

A dangerous love triangle ensures as Satine and Christian

attempt to fight all odds to stay together,

but a force that not love can conquer is

taking it's toll on Satine.

I LOVE these movies.

I have all of them.

I aso love old black and white movies!

Hope you enjoyed the show!
