It is just as Important....

To be able to say "no" in Life as it is to be ABLE to say "Yes" to Life....

Yesterday , Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday Jenni, Maple, Cheyenne and I rode for about an hour. Beautiful late afternoon...sunny, warm...75ish and the horses were awesome....walk, trot and canter.
This morning Frisco and I headed out ( after feeding the cats)to make sure all the horses had bug protection, food and water...and all in 1 piece, thank you very much! As I write  it is currently 75 and the high will be 85. After work I have to stop by the grocery store....then I will head home. Cheyenne and I will go out for awhile, I just can't pass up this beautiful weather/riding opportunity.
Tomorrow it will be in the 90's...so...walk/ run with Frisco in the morning, make sure everybody has bug protection....and we will see what happens.

Soften your eyes and breathe....

We make a good team....

Cheyenne the Wonder Horse and I went for a great ride yesterday...we went by Deer Creek and then down to the creek crossing. Farmer Skip came by with his tractor pulling a baler and I said to Cheyenne "follow those groceries"...and away we went. We crossed the creek, (the crossing was dry yesterday) and then took the 10 acre piece cutoff and up the side ramp road and then trotted to the 4 way intersection. We went down the new road/ to the 10 acre piece and then cris-crossed our way back up.  We went down to the landing, we walked back along the alfalfa fields and then went up the hill towards the road. At the section of the road where we sometimes go home...Cheyenne thought maybe we were going home...I reached forward with my reins and scooted with my hips urging him onward...and onward we went. We went to see another tractor and stack of hay. Then we looked at the irrigation water in the ditches and then jogged towards the river...when it was time to head home I asked him to walk and we walked home....such a good, honest horse.

This picture was taken in December 2007 when Cheyenne  first came to live with us

What a relief...

91 today.....

Ok so what is going on Down on the Farm? This morning I got up and gave Minnie another lesson in trusting me and that I am not ever going to hurt her with the fly spray. Poor Minnie, she has such trust issues.  She wants so much to trust but then she gets scared.Everybody else seems to have figured out that fly spray is a good thing....after  being doused everybody got a carrot.

 Frisco came with me  when I fed the horses, he is on a leash these days due to all the stickers.  Emmy Lou and Zane  (cats) ate breakfast twice. The Barn Cats  (Hank, Fuzzy and Bob)were waiting for their breakfast this morning. I made sure everybody had fresh water.... Hopped in the shower, blow dried my hair, threw on my clothes, made a quick breakfast  and lunch to take with me ; said Adios to Farmer Boy and headed off to work in town.

grateful...don't forget to be grateful :)

I still have a spring in my step

I breathe

I see

I ride

I am an athlete...a horse riding athlete

A dog walking athlete

I love to express my thoughts and stories  through song

Someday I will figure out a way to sing...a way to get my "voice" back
