My Blog is "Bogged" Down

Yes, Yes, I know......I need to update this blog....
It's not that my life is at a total standstill.........I just haven't felt witty or enlightened enough to write about it.

Well, not really.... I have things to say, but maybe you don't really want to hear.

Summer is fading away here.  The days are gorgeous, temps in the 80's....I love, love, love the Fall.
We have been "putting away" the yard for the winter. Emptying flowerpots, pulling up the sunflowers
that have mostly been eaten now by the birds.  The fish in the pond will go away this week for winter
storage in an aquarium.  I'm even considering it's time to put away the fountain in the den and haul in
some firewood, so when those temperatures do take a dip we will be ready with a nice warm fire. (ugh)

Pat and I tried to go to the mountains to catch the colors, but dang road was so rough, we just decided
we weren't that anxious to venture there...do you have any idea what it's like to drive on "washboards" in
four wheel truck with bad suspension...just ain't up to it anymore.

Thought we might try another outing on the horses this week...we'll see.

Out for a "short" ride.

We were out for a casual ride.

Here's Pat with Amore(head down)

and Ginger.

Unfortunately, just a few minutes after I took this,

Pat took a fall off Amore.

We aren't sure what's up with her,

but will be a few days before we can go out again.

He's ok, bumped and bruised.

I love the view from here.

Look at the black tips on her ears.

Ginger is my Kiger Mustang from Oregon.

Good thought for the day

Whatever you are holding on to in this life,

hold it loosely-

it won't hurt so much

when the Lord has to pry your fingers open

to take it away.

Get Well Soon to Mischel

Just "hang in" there!!!

Better days are comin'

We love you!!!!

Mom and Dad
