I woke up this morning, didn't know what day it was...

Thought it might be Saturday...found out from farmer Boy it was 6 o'clock  Friday morning! Rolled over scratched Frisco's tummy and armpit, he loves his armpit scratched and got up to face the day. Fed Frisco and got my morning coffee. Feed the cats and horsies and took a bath, grabbed some oatmeal and yes got dressed before heading out the door to work in town.

Yesterday Legal Eagle  and I worked on walking over  a log...first it was Momma, me and Legal Eagle walking together and at the end of our time together it was me and Legal Eagle. That really may not sound like much to you...but...it was the highlight of my day. I love my little horsie girl and she is so smart.

In the mean time

okie dokie...alot has been going on, I have just not had a chance to sit down and write!

OK,OK...that's not really me ha-ha...or is it?

Last weekend we went to the movies with friends. We saw "Up in the Air" starring.....George Clooney. Yes, he is very handsome and a good actor. Proof that it is possible for extremely  good looking people to have talent. (ha-ha) The morning scene were he wakes up in a good mood just re-affirms to me that that he may be perfect in every way...But, really the movie was deeper than I thought it was going to be...I would suggest you see it, I suggest you see  just about every movie George Clooney is in.

After the movie we stopped at the "Brickhouse" for drinks and appetizers. Good company, so-so food.

Monday the Vet came and all the horses got their shots for the year. All went well, easy peasy.

It started raining again, so it is too sloppy to ride...unless the horses wear their mud boots.

Lots of hugging and brushing of  horses going on in the mean time.

I am all caught up on "LOST"...I really like that TV show. I know, I know ...I can never explain what is going on...ya gotta watch it to know...or you are LOST!

OK,OK enough from me for now. Hopefully soon, the weather will clear up and Cheyenne and I will off on new adventures. As you may be able to tell, the rain is making me a little stir crazy.

Nelson's First Drive!!!!!!

Awesome!

Use it or Lose it

Faith
Hope
Fun
Love
Your Mind

whew....breathe

OK...finally a moment to recollect the past few days...last weekend I went to Jenni's house and she hooked up Ricky and Nelson and ground drove them...can you say awesome??? I sure hope you can, cause that is what a good time is! Great horses learning new skills!
On Saturday , Farmer Boy and I went with "cabjeb" to see "Crazy Heart" starring Jeff Bridges and Robert Duvall. What a good, solid film. I really enjoyed the soundtrack and the gritty feel of the the story...I don't want to say too much, but, I recommend this film and the soundtrack....I love the chorus to one of the songs....
" falling feels like flying...for a little while". Too true.
Then we went to Cactus in the town of Woodbridge for a dinner of Mexican cuisine. Margaritas and Carnitas for me thank you very much. Good fun and good friends.
Sunday, Jenni and Ricky came over and to the bottom we did trot! On our way back we saw three Vultures warming their wings on the roof of the old pumphouse...that was really something to sit and look at for a while, and we did just that.
Monday, I had the day off....Jenni, Paula and Diana came over with their ponies. We had fun, fun, fun and more fun. Trotting and loping through the woods  is what I call fun. Oh! We saw a deer and crossed the bridge in the woods.
Wednesday Jenni and Maple came over, we went for a walk...45 minutes out and 45 minutes back. Cheyenne walked out like a champ...I love that boy.
Tonight the Farrier comes.

Thoughts to think (ha-ha)....
Renew...Revive...Reflect...Rejoice ...Life is good :):)

thoughts on....

Love Thy Neighbor as Thy Self

Being unkind to yourself can simply be an old habit

Start a new habit of speaking kindly to yourself

May I be on my side and not betray myself

May I be a kind and friendly force for Me.

Be still my heart and know that Love is alive in the world.
Meditate with a calm and open heart...
Happy Valentines day

2-3-2010

OK, well I've been back to working in town for two days...and a busy two days it has been. Enough about town....
 today after work I will head back to the farm and ride Cheyenne. Jenni will come over with a pony of hers and away we will go. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so I want to take advantage of the good weather.
This past weekend Farmer Boy and I went to the town of Winters and saw Lucy Kaplanksy at the Palms. We had had dinner at the Buckhorn ,stayed over at the Abbey House Inn and had breakfast at the Putah Creek Cafe. It has been a long time since I've had pancakes! We did have fun, but it was good to get back Down on the Farm.I had fun playing with all the horses, we taught each other a little something.
I know what I hoped I taught them, I do know what they taught me. They taught me that I accomplish more when I focus and have fun and not overthink . Do not try to think every step out and then do it, plan and do. Things will run more smoothly.If it doesn't work out, stop, think, make a plan and do that!
Here are some pictures of the weekend and one of a very happy Farmer Boy...
