I am also working through an unexpected rejection of someone cherished for a lifetime but am finding my way back to a different and hopefully, better version of myself.<br />I love that your girls are still teaching. We all have much to learn.<br />Be safe, and know you are loved!Deejbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143307437996045353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-80598650555197242662017-01-02T11:54:03.627-05:002017-01-02T11:54:03.627-05:00Thanks for this perfect reminder as I look out on ...Thanks for this perfect reminder as I look out on a field that looks like a pond! I always remind myself that the earth needs water and try not to complain about the ensuing mud/mess that comes with rain and horses. Mine are in the barn today except for the painted Shetland pony who stands out in the rain until he is soaked to the skin. He hates being blanketed, has a fine layer of fat, and after years of trying to keep him dry against his will I have learned to let him Do His Shetland Thing. That's a lesson I could apply to many other scenarios! I'm working on it. Happy New Year to you and your family.billie hintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13122029489079192488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-58419277692802678472017-01-02T07:23:19.886-05:002017-01-02T07:23:19.886-05:00Good observations about nature and horses.

I started at midnight unable to walk without my left leg 'shouting' and so I groaned the New Year in while listening to illegal fireworks. :-) Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822039230903741043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-84065721246274718272017-01-01T19:06:29.844-05:002017-01-01T19:06:29.844-05:00Thanks for stopping by to leave me good cheer, Eve...Thanks for stopping by to leave me good cheer, Everybody!

Is your knee and back pain improving? 4 1/2 years ago I had to have a knee replacement and do not have one regret. I know what you mean about ice/melting/ice. We have some old hay that we keep in the loft and when the weather gets like this we spread a layer in the front paddock so there is some texture for the horses. So far it works very well. <br /><br />The importance of clean water and it's availability is going to get greater as time goes on. We had a drought here last summer and many homes had NO water at all. Fortunately many of the wells are recovering now. Hang in there. I'll bet you are going to end up with a beautiful kitchen. Happy New Year! Stay healthy....
