This week marks the beginning of summer. Now that the rain seems to have stopped its weekly visits the grass and weeds, hopefully, will slow their crazy growing cycle. I’m very tired of weed eating! All the animals are very fat from all the food. I am not complaining, because that is less money I have to spend. ($$)

My friends want to go on a moonlight ride tonight- full moon. I will think about taking both horses out.

The El Dorado fair was last week end and I took Ruby to a Working Cow clinic. I’m sure when I dismounted and followed the cowboy-who was working the cow.

Ruby thought-"OK this is good- She’s doing great!"  It was fun to do something different with her-after all she DOES come from a line of working cow horses.

Yesterday my neighbor,Val , asked me to come over and help her put fence poles up while she jumped her new horse-Wow- he is something else- a very big horse at 17 hands!! Regal looking.

She also has a new guy who I love- check them out on her blog at    Crows Ear Farm West, Inc.

Aside now from the “latest info”. How about some mind meanderings-thoughts really. I certainly like to read them (thoughts) on some of the blogs I follow. People have commented,-“Who cares?” Really- who does care- who bothers- WHY bother. Unless the FBI want to see what your up to.

I believe others simply don’t care what you have to say. While still others actually do care, get inspired, or motivated to take some action or contemplate some of the same life issues, of ups and downs. Isn’t that why we like to read some novels?  Isn't that why we enjoy talking to our friends and commiserating??

But when we read a journal or blog we get insight of what people have to say, think and believe. Some of the time its cathartic. (def.: cleansing, releasing of emotion). Other times it’s a work of art; poems, reviews and the such. There are blogs on how to do many things-cooking, sewing-ANYTHING!! I think everyone can benefit at one time or another by writing in a journal. Even if its just one of those letters- you write and never send to clear the air on some issue.

So enjoy- if you want, or surf on- and most of all be grateful for what you do have.

Xmas Ponies and more

I've always had so much fun making these little ponies. I took 30 of them to the Loomis Tack sale- sold 10. There weren't too many people there-so all was good. I love to give them away cuz everyone says they are "cute" and people smile when they see them and the kids love them. I often attach them to xmas presents too.

I have a friend who sells Gourmet Bran mashes. We sold those along with the ornaments.  Horses just love the peppermint pieces along with their warm goodies! They are carried at Coo Feed, Echo Valley and others! You can order some for you and your friends! She's in Cool! And my other friend Kelly is selling homemade chocolate! for people of course! You can find it at Lee's and Chritsansens under the Name Chocolate Cowgirl! Cute designs- Happy Holidays to everyone!
