the way to salvage a dreary day

It's cloudy and windy, again.  Cliff and I did our shopping this morning, and had some wonderful tenderloin sandwiches afterward (from our home-butchered pork).  After he went to work, I stepped outside and decided it was not too cold for a horseback ride.  By george, I paid $75 to have Blue shod, and I'm doggone sure gonna get my money's worth!  Besides, every time I stepped outside the door, Blue whinnied at me... a sure sign he wanted to go someplace.

I learned long ago that if you wait for perfect conditions to take a walk or ride a horse, you won't go far.  So Blue and I faced the wind and headed away.  It was great!  How quickly I forget the pleasure of enjoying this great land in the company of the best horse I've ever known.

This wind is driving me crazy! Blue must not hear buggeers in the wind. Precious does.

Oh, I think this would have been fun.  I love those pics with Blue's head and ears in them, you know you have taken the pic on top of the horse!!!!  It's cute.

I love horses.  I love their fierce yet gentle souls.  And oh, how I miss the countryside.  Thanks for your lovely photojournal.
