Gone are the soft sunsets of winter (although, they are lurking just around the corner)
The drama of the Summer sun sliding over the edge of the earth,
Gone are the delightful gentle spring sunsets
For now, we have the roar of the brilliant orange/red sun setting in Autumn.
Always, beautiful! Always

There is nothing like the love of the equines! Well, I suppose those of us who have them know they are much like big dogs. Shannon says the horses are like dogs and the mule is like a cat. If you remember that and treat them accordingly they will always be your friend and work hard for you!
T’Ata in the foreground, Glory Bee with the white face, and LaVerne with the long ears.
Terry says: “If you want to be poor and stay poor, own a horse or two or three”. 🙂
Yes, they are expensive, but, oh, well.

The leaves whisper to us as they gently float through the sky
Singing a sweet song of goodbye
We are through for the year…this is the time to sleep the trees respond…
We are preparing for that ageless power of winter—a time of rest
From my world to your heart,

A stunningly beautiful Autumn Day.
We are so blessed, you and I, to hear and see and feel the song of our marvelous world!
From my world to your heart,

This is Shannon’s rescue Mule. She is around 20 years old.
It’s taken her a long time to trust all of us, but she has finally learned we are all family.
And she is part of our family. Her favorite person is Terry, but she likes Shannon and me a lot. 
She loves massage, special apple treats, cookies, and being with T’Atat and Glory Bee.
We have finally figured out she was trained to pack and ride/ saddle. She also will follow without a lead, and never strays. She was trained very well and loved well when young.
The damage came from all those years in between. At one point she was sold 19 times in two years.
Shannon got her from the meat man (she was going to be sold for slaughter in Mexico).
Meet LaVerne, the sweetest mule anyone could ask for.

A sweet gift from the earth! A very sweet gift!

Standing by the field, one can hear the rustle of the leaves —singing a drying song.
