Poppies in the pasture

 The grass is greening up after a very raining/snowy April.  Sash is herding sheep and wanting to earn her merits to progress to cattle but everything worth doing takes time to do it well. Twin calf doing well and horses are vet-checked and shod for the season. Spring cleaning is constantly happening as wet weather brings forth muddy prints everywhere. Preparing to plant soon.  Daffodils, a few wildflowers, dandelions along with a few poppies are the flowers we’ve seen  this spring. 

                                                                       

Happy Mother’s Day and Kentucky Derby Day. Hope mom is watching from our sky so blue. 💜💕

A cold Spring has filled our mountains with snow over 100%!  So soon summer will lead us out of doors and into seemingly endless sunlit days (at least in the northern hemisphere) and beautiful starry nights. I will begin my Sunday tradition of campfires amongst the mountains.  The 100 days of Summer will begin this Memorial Day and summer will reign again

    So as summer begins watch for wonderful pleasures in the sun and over the horizon, whether it’s a road trip to the top of the world or a ride in the country or a trip to the lake, enjoy all the sunshine, sunrises,and sunsets you can find and as CP would say take a picture in your mind and you’ll always keep those memories alive.

😎🐾👣👒🎓congratulations to all the Grads this Spring!👏🏼

HONOR THE MEMORIAL DAY GIFT 

Abraham Lincoln was a great president and it came with the ultimate sacrifice as well as the soldiers on D-day. I have quoted his famous Gettysburg address on a previous post but think it gives meaning to our Memorial Day thoughts of today, he said, : “In a larger sense,we can not dedicate,we can not consecrate,we can not hallow this ground.  The brave men,living and dead,who struggled here, have consecrated it,far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note,nor long remember what we say here,but it can never forget what they did here.”  

Freedom is not free. Dear Lord thank you for these great men so that your authority and principles might live on in greater ways.  In Jesus name we pray.  

And with his final words of the speech we can know what we are to do with our lives,:

  “It is for us the living…to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that the government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”  Let’s do it.

Here is an excerpt from the book of the month happy reading!
