HEY! Were You Born in a Barn?

I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that as I ran into... or out of... the house, leaving the door wide open as a child. Since I was such a wonderful child, I guess that I would have amassed about three dollars. (Right!)
It is a gorgeous autumn evening. Wayne and I have been sitting on the porch enjoying some peace and quiet. We watched the goats rattle around in the dark, Geordie played hard chasing them around and he was loving bossing them as any respectable Border Collie would!
I love this time of year when windows and doors can be opened, fresh air abounds and somehow all is well.
I had a bit of a sore throat, so I didn't visit Frieda today. I am hoping there's not much to that...but it's not smart to visit with a possibility of illness.
The donkeys got treats today and they were so thrilled...CARROTS and there were some happy, happy donkeys. The foals weren't quite sure what to do with them, but once they figured out the CRUNCH, they were hooked. I love spending time with the foals and watching them grow. They are so gentle and sweet.
Wayne and I have decided to take one of our notorious "coffee drives" tonight. It's cool, it's crisp and a beautiful evening in Pamlico county, so we will just take full advantage of the evening to ride and count our many blessings.
Please continue to keep Frieda in your prayers. She's working hard and I'm working her hard.
Seems like I was just writing a post about the beginning of summer...and here we are in October! YAY!
I've seen tons of pumpkins, hay bales, lots of corn shocks, wooden "yard art" and halloween ghoulies! I've even seen
houses decorated in lights. That's kind of cool. Perhaps it's a way to start thinking about the spirit of Christmas that will
be just around the corner!
So, open your doors, act like you "live in a barn," and enjoy this wonderful season. It moves into winter all too quickly!
(And don't forget to turn off the air conditioning when you leave the windows and doors open! I'm guilty of that sometimes too!)
Here's wishing you health, happiness and many cool and crisp evenings!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....I smell coffee! Gotta run!
