Summer Flying By

Are you feeling it?

This summer is going fast.

Too fast!

Last week I had many adventures, besides my daily life on our small farm.

1.  Traveled with "musher" friends to Michigan's Upper Peninsula 

and had a wonderful lunch in Mackinaw City.

2.  Invited to a wonderful dinner in my hometown, 

nestled by Lake Michigan, 

hosted by my childhood friend, 

Dorothy, 

who was visiting from Wisconsin with family.

3.  Headed to an auction last weekend, selling our wares. 

More on that later...

And spent my birthday at the start of this week with my youngest son, 

(the golfer) 

who was/is visiting from California.

FYI, he missed being in the U.S. Open by 2 strokes...he shot a 72.

Next year, Mark!

Enjoyed a week of family, friends, good food, and fellowship, and the week isn't over yet...

so the craziness continues!

Speaking of crazy, 

our baby goat was really getting into her tree-climbing act!

Little Olive is quite the show off!

Can you see her in the tree, pictured above?

I'll update soon, and should have some news about horse training.

We have decided it is needed...and are making plans.

Amish style.

Stay tuned!

Until then, dear friends.  God willing.

And wishing you many blessings during your summer months!

All Things New

As I dream of warm spring breezes, my mind is carried to images of Spring.

Whether they are on "our 40" or at our friend's farm, they warm my heart. 

Last spring, we headed over to the farm where our big Raz was born,
to see the new arrivals.

Baby Girl, mother of Raz, had a new little colt, born within the last day.

A second colt also adorned the farm, born within hours of the first.

It's hard to believe our big guy Raz, was once that small...

But he was...

Spring ~ a time for all things new.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

2 Corinthians 5:17

Are you a new creature in Christ?  You can be...

John 3:16



Horses in Winter

When folks come for our dog sled tours, they have to drive right by our 3 horses.

Sometimes they will ask what the horses do all winter.

Well...it depends.

They eat...

And play...

And enjoy their snowy world.

But I'm sure, like us, their thoughts turns to spring.

Especially on warm winter days.

It's coming...soon.

And we've got a heck of a summer planned.

Stay tuned. 

Always, God willing.



Horsin' Around

It's absolutely the most gorgeous day in northern lower Michigan.

Windy, sunny and no humidity.

Enjoying the final day of my vacation ~ which consisted of a week of surviving the heat-filled days and nights. With cooler temps,
we have our sense of humor back ~ as do the horses.

I should note,

these photos were placed sequentially - the boys did pass the ball back and forth.
