A thoughtful gift

One of my horsemanship lesson clients is a 3 year old girl who has been taking lessons with me since she was 2.  I don't think anyone is too young to learn from horses.  They have so much to teach.  Compassion, empathy, kindness, patience...the list goes on and on.

I pride myself on knowing that children who participate in and eventually leave my program will have these important qualities.  It's all the thanks I need.  But, occasionally a client will give me a gift.  Something tangible.  I received this gift a few weeks ago and it melted my heart.  This little darling gets it...she gets me.

I'm so proud to teach her.  (and can't wait for Santa to fill this awesome stocking)

All grown up

Ol!ver is growing up so fast.  And boy is he handsome.  (I think he knows this.)

Guilty?

Innocent until proven guilty.  That's what they say.  

But, man she looks guilty as h-e-double hockey sticks.  

Thinking I should check the porch for bird parts.  Ugh. 

Nice Digs

Not sure if I will be lucky enough to have a bird family take up residence in my new birdhouse (THANKS MOM!!!), but if they do, they are gonna be living in the nicest house on the block.

Just sayin'.

Tough Life

This hammock was one of my birthday gifts from Mark.  I have laid in it ONCE.  Just sayin'.

So Proud...

Mark is published!!!  Last year Mark was approached by an editor who was updating "The Complete Guide to Stonescaping".  She had found a picture of Mark's firepit and wanted to use the photo.  Mark declined, but instead offered to show examples of his work.  Before and After.  It didn't take long for her to realize she needed to have Mark in her book.

I wonder if I can quit my job now?
