Week 17: Good

Project 52

Good

The only thing that beats having a good time with friends is having a (safe) good time with friends at a bonfire.

I couldn't decide on my Week 52 picture . . . 

Want to help me pick?

These three are my favorites.

Catching Up: Weeks 15 and 16

The pictures in this post were all taken with my phone, so the quality suffers a little. But I'm impressed with the technology that allows me to take decent pictures with a phone.

Week 14: Part 2

This is the picture that I took for my 52 Weeks challenge. 

I find it to be a delightful contrast to a picture I took only a few months ago.

Week 14: {clutter}

This week I only had the one theme to work with. The leader of the second photography challenge has been crazy busy. I did take a {free} picture anyway, but I haven't edited it yet. I'll try to post it tomorrow.

Clutter

Every day after school, our dining table winds up looking like this . . . Books, crayons, papers, and pencils all over the place, the pencil sharpener, drawers half-open, and crumbs and a paper towel left over from the toddler's snack at the other end.

My World

While technically this picture is a bit premature, the pursuit of owning this special horse is very much a big part of my world right now. Horses and kids consume my waking hours, and I love it that way.

I met Shuga's hoof trimmer yesterday, and the vet walked me through the shots issue today.

This meant that the kids and I could hang out with our future horse some more. You know, since we were out there anyway.

Lila started screaming any time I or the kids came anywhere near a horse.

Soon, though, she was feeding Shuga treats. Then she was helping me groom her.

And finally, she was adamant that she would get a turn riding, too.

I am so proud of her.

We went to visit Shuga today. She was gorgeous and patient and gentle, as always.

We kind of like her.

A lot.

The kids took turns riding and leading her around.

As I watched them interact with her, and she with them, I realized that she isn't just my perfect horse anymore.

As I continue to get to know her better, I find myself completely stunned.

Surely such an incredible match can only be found in a soulmate.
