miraculous answer to prayer?

well, we thought for a moment that B's prayers had been answered. we looked out back to see two beautiful paint horses grazing in our pasture. we did a double take. they seemed to appear out of nowhere! B was thrilled! "can we keep them???"

when we got over our shock, we realized they are our neighbor's horses who had escaped their own fence. we closed the gate on our pasture and called to let them know we had their horses corralled. but we chuckled all afternoon over them...


this isn't the first time i've glanced out the window to find a surprise in our pasture. there's the time i saw our new born crea standing on wobbly legs, born to a llama we had only owned a week! and the time we found twin lambs born when we actually thought our rams were fixed. and the time we looked out to see our chickens chasing a mama skunk and her babies into their burrow. and seeing an eagle soar over our farm...


everyday gift: no end to the surprises around here

Dear All,
Just wondering if B has changed her mind from white Welsh Pony to Paint horse? They sure are pretty. What a fun surprise.
I tried to comment on C's and S's blogs but it won't let this "anonymous" person in! ;o( I really like the intro to the nature pics; clever sign! C's chess sets are very impressive. Good goin' kids. Love you, Grammy
