Getting the bit for the first time.


"I don't like this at all!"

"Please rescue me."

Yesterday's productivity and the bit

I was feeling a little better, yesterday, so I decided to can applesauce and pickled hot peppers. It took a few hours in the kitchen, but I so enjoy the homemade stuff. I cook the apples with the peels and then put it through the food mill. It is so tasty that way.
Now I am going outside on this beautiful day to watch my daughter, Kelda, work with her horse, Ansonia. She has been training and starting to ride her and it is going very well; but today is the day she gets the bit for the first time. It is interesting to watch things like this because I can always relate to it. Sometimes God puts a bit in my mouth to take me to another level.

My first post

I really wanted to get out and paint. I don't feel very well today, though. I made a couple quarts of herbal tea from lemon balm (which is antiviral), clover, red raspberry leaf, and gotu kola. It felt good to drink it. I did end up trying to do some art, though. I walked out to the pasture with Buddy, my dog and sat down with my pastels. The leaves are just beautiful and will be gone soon. I didn't push myself, just laid down some colors and sat there feeling very sleepy. I ended up on the ground with my hat over my face and Buddy sticking his nose under my hand. He took advantage of my proximity and laid with me, asking for a belly rub.
