Pegasus is modeling his new fly bonnet. It is designed to be worn while riding, and it keeps the bugs out of your horse's ears. Reactions have been varied. Some people, like me, think he is cute in his little hat. Others laugh at him. However, it is undeniable that he is more comfortable with it than without it. The deerflies have been terrible lately.
Massacre in the pasture!
Poco, Peg, and Jack decided that a long nap was in order. Usually they designate at least one horse (Jack, because he is the youngest) to stand sentry, but the weather was just too nice. They were snoring and nickering in their sleep.
The current big news over here is that we are taking a vacation as a family. We will go to the Smoky Mountains and rent a chalet. First, Daddy, Annie, and I will drive up and backcountry hike for three days and two nights. Then, Momma will fly in, and we'll spend four more days dayhiking as a family. We are all excited. We have not had a family vacation since we got the horses. It is going to be a lovely time. Daddy says our total mileage may be around 50 miles. If you know Annie, you know that will make her very happy. Although I believe she'd be happier with 100 miles...
Here is today's scripture.
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Ecclesiastes 11:1 KJV
I like Peg's hat. :) It sure beats the average fly mask when it comes to fashion. Those other things aren't nearly so cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful vacation! Hiking in the Smokys sounds like a a lot of fun to me!
Have a good vacation, my dear friend! I'm sure your horses will miss you, but maybe it'll be good for them. They'll realize how much they really love and need you!
