Though I am so glad that it's Friday and the week is behind me, I am amazed at the reality the year is nearly at mid-point and has passed so quickly!

We are knocking at the last day of school in our district and that means the first June is right around the corner. There are so many projects I would like to accomplish over the summer since we have determined that moving at this point is probably not a good idea with regard to the economy, gas and all other things considered. We could have pursued a few other options on the big house one the hill, but there were some realities we finally had enough time to really mull over and then with the financing being so tough to come by right now it just didn't make sense to be doing anything so radical right now.

On the other hand, we have not ruled out staying where we are at.... But as I stated, there are many projects that really need to be started and accomplished over the coming months. So, a meeting with the land owners and some further contemplations need to be entered into in the near, very near future.

I've been pretty concerned over my stud horse who I mentioned earlier this week getting kicked by the ill intending mare... He is still in pretty rough shape. I've been soaking him daily which is helping and started on anti-biotics and still using pain/anti-inflammatory medication. Poor guy! Today the progress was the best, but I have to say he was in a really bad mood tonight. No, he didn't kick... In fact, he really is one of the nicest stallions I've ever been around over all... But he was just not his loveable, huggable self that we have all come to adore. Nope, he was in a more or less, leave me alone sort of mind set. I suppose when I don't feel good or have the flu or significant injury the first couple days or so I cope fairly well.. Then by the day three or four and beyond I am just sick of it and ready to be whole again. I think that is where he is at this point in time.

We have received a bit of those showers I have been praying for and visualizing. And best yet, they say more is on the way tomorrow! Yes, "tomorrow's a day away"! So, things appear to be turning green right before our very eyes! How sweet a thing spring really is!

Speaking of such things...I think one of the most precious things of spring in our region is driving around the area and seeing all the new life. There are babies everywhere, from calves to foals and beyond. I hear the baby birds in the trees outside the window, which at times I admit can get annoying, but all in all it is such a grand reminder of God's promise of forever and his incredible workmanship! I wish I could create as he did, but then again maybe not. I wouldn't ever want to take the beauty and splendor of all surrounds me for granted and as long as I can only look on with admiration, inspiration and awe I cannot take any of it for granted!

I realize the blogs this week may be a bit weak, but we are all entitled to our human times. I don't think it is totally a lack of inspiration. No, I think it's more about just being tired. Between the kids, the yard work, the horse issues and the appointments and more I'm just a bit over extended emotionally and physically leaving very little remaining for the blog or writing projects.

It's okay, Monday begins a whole new week and with any good fortune I have most of the running done this week and can focus a bit more on some more pages to my next writing project - Moonlights story and promoting the book, ie; signings and visits etc. I really want to schedule a trip to Wyoming and Montana before the summer is over. I was thinking June, but it's looking more like mid-July or perhaps the first part of August at this point in time. I am all about road trips and can hardly wait!

On that note, I think it's time to call it a night and a week... I'm going upstairs for the night.

Good Night and God Bless!
