MOMENTS

Life is short.
If there was ever
a moment to follow
your passion and do
something that matters
to you, that moment is
now!














A weekend of visiting with
a son and daughter in love
with some wonderful friends.

Horseback riding on a darling
of a gelding, Smokey, although
he prefers to be called Snowflake;
we are now the best of friends.

Exploring the area, discovering
long abandon buildings and
wondering about their story.
Seeing white tail deer everywhere,
laughing and enjoying some
great company.

Being so tired when I arrived
home that I only had the energy
to prepare apples and cheese for
dinner.  The apples were a gift
from family visiting from VA
and I am enjoying every bite.

Spending most of Sunday with
my sweet girl Emerson. Playing
outside, crafting inside, listening
to her read to me, me reading to
her. I miss her already.

I enjoyed every minute of my
weekend!

  13. What a lovely way to spend a weekend! You look so at home on that horse and I see I'm not the only one who tries to imagine what the history of old, sometimes neglected buildings is. :D

  17. I love abandon buildings and often wonder about their past. We have some pretty cool ghost towns here in Colorado. I found a link on the weather channel that had abandoned buildings from all 50 states. That was cool.

  18. I love these photos...you look great on horse back. Awesome. I have always been obsessed with horses and used to save my school bus fare walking two bus routes so that I could go riding on Saturday mornings. Everyone has horses where we now live (well not quite everyone) and talk about them all the time... I would love to have another go even though I was thrown off the last time I went riding.
    Happy riding days.
