Tomorrow
There’ll be sun!
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.
“Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.” ~ André Gide,L’immoraliste Today was another action packed day. Well, maybe not so much action, but busy anyway. I was out of bread this morning so I baked a loaf and did a load of laundry. Then went to church for two hours. There’s a women’s bible study…
Verlyn Klinkenborg writes a column for the New York Times. In the piece that appeared last week, he wrote about the wind in a way I thought many of you could relate to: “By evening, even the horses were weary. They had been blown about all day as though they weighed a few ounces instead…
We got a couple of inches of snow last Friday. Java was thrilled (me too). We got in a little frisbee toss and fetch today.
Finally! A nice day! Yeh! See Maery doing the happy dance! You know it’s been tough weather-wise when a bit of sun and temps in the 60s make you crazily jubilant! Lots got done today – raking, cutting down some buckthorn, gathering and burning branches, clearing flower beds of leaves and old growth, a couple…
“You used to be much more…’muchier.’ You’ve lost your muchness.” — Mad Hatter to Alice in Alice in Wonderland I watched Alice in Wonderland and it got me wondering where my muchness went.

Hey darlin’, I saw your post and had to pop in. Seems life has tried to darken my world. My Mama is in ICU right now.
Your post reminded me of a Downs syndrome student I had once. We always took our Special Ed. class to a lake just before school was out each summer. I had this young fella in the paddle boat with me. It was a drizzly, damp cold day.
We were paddlin’ across the lake and he said, ” Oh..Mrs. Nezzy isn’t it a beautiful sunny day?”
I looked at him and said, why…little mister…it’s cloudy, cold and there is NO sun. He looked at me in his wise way and said, yes, yes there is. It’s just hidin’ behind the clouds. The sun is always shinin’ even when we can’t see it!”
I remind myself of this often.
Glorious pictures as always sweetie!
Have a blessed and sunny day :o)
I love your story! I won’t forget such a beautiful message.
Sorry to hear about your Mom. I’ll say a prayer for both of you.
Oh so lovely. Look at those brave new blades of grass popping out of the ground all around Luke…green and precious. I’ll sure never take spring for granted ever again! Sun, let there be sun!

Very beautiful. And, the sun will come out soon. We’ve had a record month of snow but we had sun today! Perhaps you did too!
Your photos were perfect for the lyrics!
Beautiful photos! Love that song but ~ I hope the sun came out for you TODAY 🙂
