Chalk Another One Up For Mary
Just a brief word, because I am so totally proud of myself! I drove the horse trailer with Murphy in it to the park and went riding for about an hour — all by myself!

I picked up my son from the airport yesterday afternoon. The first stop was a second hand store where he was hoping he’d find some decent winter boots to get him through the weekend. Unfortunately, this did not happen but he did find a pretty cool leather coat. I found a couple belts, a Santa…
I feel as though I should introduce my animal crew. The newest member of the family is Java, a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever mix.
Last Saturday morning, it was too cold to horseback ride but I wanted to give Luke a chance to walk on something besides the hard packed ice and snow in the paddock. So lead line in hand, I took my horse for a stroll behind the barn and out on the paths that wind through the woods.
I just had to post a few photos that one of my fellow trail riders took. I so rarely get photos beyond the ones taken between Luke’s ears. Not sure if you can very clearly see the bridge behind me, but I was pretty happy about getting over it without any problems. I think I…
Saturday morning, I went to my friend Sue’s, where she and other artists had set up their work for an art show. I wish I could show you photos of the cool stuff there but, alas, I sent my camera to Canon for repair right before I stopped at Sue’s. You’ll just have to check…
The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful. — E.E. Cummings, poet (1894-1962) Such crazy weather this summer — lots of rain, sticky hot, then shiveringly cool, knock-you-over winds that come out of nowhere, then sunshine, blue skies and peace. Here’s a sample of clouds from last Thursday where the weather wasn’t quite sure what it wanted…

How exciting! Glad you had a nice ride.
Yeah! I am so happy for you! You did it! Wasn’t that so much fun? Now you can just take off and go riding, and know that you can!
Lovin’ the orange halter! Gotta do it if there are hunters around!
Congratulations!!!! You *should* be proud of yourself!!! Way to go Mary and Murphy!!! 🙂
Mary….see! Already you are moving forward. The good news is that you found out you can do it. I find that when I take Berlin away from the farm she is more dependent on me…even if we are with other horses. A couple of days ago when we rode down the lane behind our farm, she was a pain in the butt knowing that the rest of the herd was close by. I sure hope you don’t have to sell either horse. You need them and they need you. Keep up the good work.
Al-right Mary…you go girl (and Murphey)!!!!!
That’s wonderful! I don’t like bumping into hunters in the bush either-the orange halter does make sense, and it looks pretty too!
Yea! Go Mary! That is exciting news. I bet you felt really good. I like the bright halter….a great idea, actually! 😉
I had such a great time, I did it all over again the next day with Luke. Total bummer that I’ll be losing the trailer and truck in the divorce. Hopefully I’ll find a place to board that’s right on a big trail system.
I sure wish I could keep Murphy but I don’t see how I could pay the bills on him. He’s such a good trail horse. I hope I can find someone that will appreciate him the way I do.
