a side note

I realize two posts in one day is a bit excessive BUT I am avoiding the laundry! I was/am searching for someone to do family pictures for us so I was cruising through other peoples blogs looking for someone to do such a job for us. As I kept meandering through I found three blogs.
  1. http://rideagoodhorse.blogspot.com
  2. http://prairierunner.wordpress.com
  3. http://prairie-ridge.blogspot.com/

I just gotta say looking through their blogs I had an over-whelming sense of loss. I miss my life on the farm. I miss my horses and the long rides. I miss the horse shows. I miss the openness of the prairie. I miss the wind and the dirt. I miss the smell of a storm coming in. I miss the foals in the spring. I miss needed to wear my leather gloves. I miss the smell of hay. I miss the bonfires and burning barrels. I can keep going but it's only making me more homesick.

You're making me homesick for the farm and I never lived on one! I did always like hanging out with my farm friends though...

Forget building a fence...buy a horse and let it graze on the slope behind your house...just don't let it drink from the "stream!"
