On Saturday Brooke my 11 yr old daughter and I went for a ride in the canyon near our home. What a blast it was. We climbed steep hills and galloped a ton of the way. Lightning is the brown horse and Bubba is the white one, I actually rode Bubba and she Lightning. As we were galloping along I would hear sqeals of delight from behind me and then...."This.......is.......the.....best......day.....of......my.......life......." Cool, a couple hours well spent, I think I have throughly made her love riding. Sorry Brooke, hope I don't ruin you, I guess I should appologize to her future hubby for the expenses I will cause him!!!

I love fall, it seems to feel slower than the rest of summer. The flowers r blooming, the garden is at it's height, and we here is snow country just seem to really relish in fall. I am busy making my kitchen hot with canning jars and i love the feeling of preparing for winter. Maybe I am like a squirel, packing in the nuts for winter. Funny huh.
