it's just like Christmas!!! (part one)

Have you ever had a blessing from the Good Lord, where your most "never could happen" dream had come true??? If not, then it is my sincere prayer that one day... you may be granted your furthest wish... for it is an amazing thing.

When I was 8 years old and falling in love with horses, I dreamed of a day when I "would own a farm and have "lots" of horses". The first part of that dream came true 11 years ago, when.... (encouraged by my dear hubby) I bought my first horse, and really "owned a horse of my own!!!"



Then, when that dear old horse (Silver) had to be retired and I talked about a second horse..... our plans for "owning a farm" began to take shape....

And as you all know, all winter long, Ed has been working on "my" beautiful barn.....


but today.... the horses are "officially and forever.... HOME!!!"




Mocha was the first to arrive. Sadie went with me to load and bring her home, while Ed stayed at the barn to finish up some little things (like stops on the doors, latches finished up... some raking done on the pasture).

Mocha was quite pleased with the tour of her new home.... she was very curious with everything and checked it all as Sadie walked her about...







She seems pleased with her new stall.... nice and roomy... course, she would like a little hay please!!!!

I am very happy for you and your horses. I've been watching your barn take shape, and know what a dream come true it must be for you.

Oh Sue- how blessed you are! Three wonderful 'ponies' to fill your heart, and your land! May you all have many happy years...glorious green grass that pops right up from the (roll on both sides boys!) mud in the spring. Summer afternoons gazing over those fields with the sun overhead and the wind at your back. Fall days filled with rides past the fall foliage, the smell of cool air and crisp apples at hand. And cozy winter nights with the gang all blanketed tight and tucked into your new wonderful barn! It certainly is a dream come true!
