Happy Monday
Well...what a grand weekend. Farmer Boy and I worked on the fence, we set some posts and when the concrete sets Farmer Boy will weld some pipe between them. A strong, sturdy corner and gate it will be.
Jenni and Maple came over Saturday morning , Cheyenne and I enjoyed our ride with them very, very much. Cheyenne and Maple seemed to enjoy getting out and about as much as Jenni and I did. It was soooo beautiful and we saw all the changes that the big rain made in the bottom land. There are corn stalks everywhere they shouldn't be. Man oh man, the water was everywhere.We saw a coyote run into camouflage and hold oh so very still. Animal smarts...that's what the coyote was using.
Our Divine Ones (or Does'..as in Doe a Deer... as we starting calling ourselves) get together was fun, no we didn't go to the Crocker Art Museum. Instead we ended up gathered around Holly's table and had a meeting of the minds and sharing of ideas and let's not forget the laughter! Since it was Holly's birthday, Kirsti made a delectable dark chocolate/orange cake. It was very tasty.
Farmer Boy and I watched "Big Love"... I hate that it is the last season for this show. I have come to be addicted to the goings on of Bill, Barbara, Nicki and Margene! The trials and tribulations of a modern day polygamist family...
I do like my Nu Skin galvanic spa...I think my skin is not so saggy...and this makes my spirits not so saggy. Aaahh spring may be around the corner in afew months. The paperwhites are blooming. I will get a picture and show how beautiful they are.
In the meantime here is a picture of the delicous cake Kirsti baked up for all of us!

Well, well, well...it is Thursday
A cloudy, cold and drizzly Thursday...but somehow the greyness and the cold feel comfortable. I have a mug of Tazo Zen tea and that is just right , to warm up the morning.
I think when I get home I will brush Cheyenne and then Frisco and I will go for a walk. Animal time is good time as far as I am concerned.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Good Day Wednesday...to all the rebels out there
Warmer today, cloudy and the 50's woohoo. I will work later today than usual....I will get home in the dark...I don't walk in the dark, too much wild life out and about.
Yesterday Frisco and I had a great walk, I had my MP3 player on and we rocked out as we kept a pace of 126 beats a minute.
Breakfast this morning, one Granny Smith apple (love, love,love them) and a mixture of peanut butter and almond butter with sesame seeds.
Lunch: Trader Joes Turkey marinara sauce and green slad...yummm...good on a winter day.
I had kind of a crummy morning emotionally but you know I don't think I want to let those emotions rule my day...I believe I have other things to do...like live my life.

Good Day Sunshine!It was soooo cold this morning....
It looked like it had snowed! What a hard frost...my fingers hurt when I went outside to feed this morning. The horses were very happy to get their hay. The dog was ready for breakfast and a hug and a scratch...we will walk after work. The kitties were full of energy until they went outside then they hurried back to breakfast and bed.
OK, it is Day 8...getting a little tired of turkey and chicken...last night I baked steelhead / with garlic/dill and lemon...very good.
Breakfast today: yogurt and berries, lunch chicken breast with green beans and olive oil/cracked black pepper and lemon dressing..very nice ....dinner tonite ( I am cheating here with the shellfish) big ol' green salad with crab meat and prawns. Farmer Boy can have sourdough toast...I will forgo the toast.
This weekend we went to see "The Fighter", dang what a good movie...Oscar contentions for Christian Bale for sure.
Jenni and I went and watched a cutting horse competition. However we mostly watched the horses and riders in the warm up arena.I bet we saw 100 riders. It was educational, fun and cold as heck...good thing Jenni brought old army blankets! Brrrrr, those bleacher seats are cold.

And So I Leave You With This...2010...
Merry Christmas and A Joyous New Year. I hope all the messages of Faith are True. I hope we have a Journey beyond this Earth. I want to learn more about myself in the coming year...I want to learn more about what may or may not be really important and true for my life. I think I have spent plenty of time trying to figure out what is important and true for others...and not enough time figuring out what is true for me.

Lucky for Us...
the rain did not pound like they thought it would. Down south the rain is pounding the earth. We had a soft rain last night and I can see some blue sky peeking out from the clouds this morning.
Well...how do I view things this morning...with the hope that I learn what my soul/mind/body needs to learn ...and that I remember those lessons. I hope that I pay attention to the joy in day to day living...to remember to stop and spend time with my animals and love my humans. I hope that the people I choose to share this time on earth with, love me and see that I am a student of living just like they are.

Our Pal Al...is no more...he has left us all behind on the planet...I hope his journey takes him to a better place...a place where he is happy and feels safe....Journey onward Al....

Last night I stuffed a beef roast with smashed garlic and roasted it nice and slow....yumm, butternut squash and asparagus on the side.

WooHooo Friday
OK! I made it through...
This weekend will be filled with....laundry, visiting in Wilton and riding horses with gal pals ...woohooo.
Time to breathe....aaaaah that feels better.
This week I caught the feral cat that has been trying to move in on us ( that is another story)...took him to Bradshaw Vet and got him (yes, turned out to be a him) fixed under the feral cat program. I told Farmer Boy...I bet he feels like he was abducted by aliens today...and Farmer Boy said " yeah, several times".

Happy December 2010
Well, OK oh my it has been awhile since I blogged oh great bloggo....
Let's see on Thanksgiving ( yes it really has been that long)...I started the day by riding with Jenni (Maple), Paula ( Copper), Charlotte (Hannah) and my boy Cheyenne. We walked to the Creek and waded through the highest water we have ever been in...the water was almost up to our stirrups! What a great way to start a Thanksgiving Day!
Farmer Boy and I went to Wilton for dinner with friends and their family...my pies did not turn out as I had hoped they would. I tried a new recipe for the pie crust...dang...the crust was like Flintstones crust. Enough said...Farmer Boy said he is looking forward to Christmas cookies to (hopefully) wipe out the memory of the pumpkin pies that fell short...ha ha.
I took the Friday before my birthday off ...Jenni and I went shopping at Thriftown! Half off all the clothes and blue tagged items! woohoo we got some good deals. Later that day Farmer Boy and I went to see the movie "Burlesque"...a good movie, just think old style musical with Cher as the motherly Rosalind Russell type. Then (yes ....more) we went to Tres Hermanas restaurant ..I had the chile rellenno and carnitas plate...OK, OK I had two shots of good tequila before eating....makes everything all comfy cozy it does.
On Saturday Farmer Boy and I went to the Crocker Art Museum , and took in some culture. We had lunch there (Hamburgers and French Fries)...and then stopped in Mid-Town . Farmer Boy went to "Swanbergs", a really cool dudes store that sells Hawaiian shirts new and vintage. I went to the store next door...it turned out to be the "Sunlight and Spirit"...a faith and hope shop. I got a refrigerator magnet that says"Namaste...the spirit in me bows to the divine in you"...nice. Also, I got a magnet that reads" you will gain wisdom when you start to live the life that the Creator meant for you" ...a good thought to think about...an American Indian is the author...I will have to check the name of the person.On Sunday, Farmer Boy and I went to 7:30 a.m. Mass at St. Joseph's...then to the grocery store...one should never go to the Nuggett grocery store if they haven't eaten! ha-ha! Fact...they have really good bagels there. In the afternoon Jenni and Maple came over and we went for a short ride...better than nothing. It started getting windy and rainy so we stopped, got the horses taken care of and had 1/1/2 beers! woohoo...too cold to ride but not for beer :)
oh, I put some pumpkin pie spice in my dark french roast coffee grounds before brewing....one word....yummm!
talk to you later. Happy December!

Hello ...
Well Hello again...let's see what is going on....hmmm this afternoon I will make pie crust dough and let it rest until tomorrow. I feel the need to get out and walk with my dog a bit. The sun came out...woohooo...I was missing the sunshine. Brushing Cheyenne sounds like fun too...I bet he is pretty muddy.Tomorrow the farrier is coming to trim the horses hooves...and later tomorrow I will make the pumpkin pies. Two pies ... one for taking and one for home. On Thanksgiving we ride at ten a.m., then off we go...over the river but not through the woods for dinner with friends.
What am I grateful for this year?
I am alive
I can walk
I can ride
Friends
David
Horses
A good dog
And good kitties
My job
My brain
My soul
My heart
The vastness of what I still have to learn in this life

ok then...
I tried to take a picture of the scrape on my knee but the flash was too bright...I fell (tripped) on the curb while leaving the grocery store. Down, down, down I went. Cut my right forearm and scraped my right knee. Farmer Boy tried to save me... or did he cause the fall? We may never really know...oh well nothing a little beer and bourbon and girlfriends can't cure. ha-ha

Hello, Good Morning to you oh Bloggo!
Well let's see...last Saturday morning Farmer Boy and I planted rye grass seed for hay next spring....20 acres worth. We pulled an old time seed wagon ( originally from Newbert's Hardware Store) with the 1957 Case tractor and hoisted 50 lb. sacks into the bin...beautiful weather...sunny and brisk .
Sunday it rained all day...so... caught up on TV and training DVDs. I am watching "In Treatment" with Gabriel Byrne...dang it is a good show. I really like digging into the characters psyches .
And...I watched the Julie Goodnight training DVD on Improving your Canter. The information was explained was very clearly ( very good visual for what the horses feet/legs do at each pace) and I will watch it again and again to really get the information in my brain and send it to my muscles while cantering .
Walk ...did I walk?...not really....lots of curling up on the couch with my kitty Emmylou .
Watched the Breeders Cup races on Saturday afternoon...another couch trip.Poor Zenyatta , she lost one race in twenty.
Today...I got up at five a.m., fed the kitties and dog, took a shower and off to work. Later on, I am going to the Home Goods store to get a new blanket. It was 39 degrees this morning. Time for a warm blanket on the bed.
