Just a picture of Ruby enjoying a bit of a doze in the midday sunshine…
We got a snow storm through last night/this morning.
When Hubby heads out to clear the drive, I’ll see about taking some fresh snowfall pics of the Merry Mares.

Sunshine
I cannot tell you how much I’m loving these longer days.
I mean I could, but words aren’t quite enough, I think, to explain how much the sunshine is a balm for the Spirit.
We call Astrid “Little Red” for a reason…as she sheds out her winter coat, she shines like a copper penny.
Here I was looking to capture the glow of the sun on her emerging blonde streak.
This is what grabbed my attention, and drew me to grab the camera, the other day.
Her mane was gently floating in the breeze while she ate her beet pulp. It looked so pretty, I simply had to capture the image.
After finishing her bucket, she moved over to lick out what was left of Astrid’s pail, which gave me a chance to get this shot.
I can’t wait until Sable is fully shed out, with her golden summer coat and those gorgeous dapples.
I have photographic plans for her. 😉
And, thankfully, she’s a cooperative model and works for food, snuggles and scratches.
Partake
Astrid and Max
“In those vernal seasons of the year,
when the air is calm and pleasant,
it were an injury and sullenness
against nature
not to go out and see her riches,
and partake in her rejoicing
with heaven and earth”
~ John Milton
Flat Astrid…basking in the spring sunshine.
Restart
Today seems to be one of those days where I need a restart…
Trying to get my brain engaged enough to get things done, and brain just ain’t having anything to do with it.
Ruby has the right idea…
A nap in the sunshine oughta help!
Start by doing what’s necessary;
then do what’s possible;
and suddenly you are doing
the impossible.
~ Francis of Assisi
Yeah, a sunshine nap is just what the Spirit needs…
Polish or Polish?
The Daily Post prompt today…
Is it Polish, or polish?
Well now, depends on interpretation, doesn’t it?
And so, one quote from a renowned Polish artist…
“I am obsessed with the process of creation.”
~ Zdzisław Beksiński
And another regarding polishing, or putting a shine, on skills…
You are an uncut gemstone of priceless value.
Cut and polish your potential with knowledge, skills and service, and you will be in great demand throughout your life.
~ Denis Waitley
Watered Down
“…I take the corners, slower and steady
This chip on my shoulder, it ain’t so heavy anymore
We still fly like gypsies
Just a little closer to the ground
And we still love our whiskey
But now it’s just a little watered down…”
“…Those old ghosts still chase me
But feels like they’re losing ground
Yeah I’m still crazy
But now I’m just a little watered down…”
Basking…
In the warmth of the sun rising over the horizon…
From 6:30 this morning:
Ruby
The Cookie…I love the smile on her face. ❤
Sable just wanted me to know she was tired. 😉
