There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for man.

~ Winston Churchill

Wonderful horses and moments. Good friends and gentle giants. 

The horses paw and prance and neigh,
Fillies and colts like kittens play,
And dance and toss their rippled manes
Shining and soft as silken skeins....

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

... Be human in this most inhuman of ages; 

guard the image of man, for it is the image of God.

~ Thomas Merton

 

You were made in the image of God. 

Are you living the beauty 

He has woven into your life?  

Speak hope. 

Guard the image of a generous and gracious God.

Raspberry Picking 101

Go while it's hot, the berries are sweeter.

Hide from your mother,
except to steal her berries.

Share your berries.

Go again soon!

Soon, daughter will make freezer jam.

 

Then we would take the canoes
 and paddle to the magic island 
where we ate lunch.
