somehow this one doesn’t make the list…

on some of the perks of country livin’. However, when we get in last night I notice Daisy playing with something that very closely resembles a scorpion. Guess what? It is one! This kind…
Thoughts race through my head, but I need more light. Of course, there’s no convenient switch to our living room light so [...]

and the trees came tumbling down…

the trees came down and the flames came up; the trees came down and the flames came up; the trees came down and the flames came up and the wise man’s house was seen. Okay, can you tell we’ve been having Vacation Bible School this week? Better yet, can we call Bryan a wise man? [...]

beyond the shadow…

of a doubt, there’s lots of fun to be had with shadows. Have you ever played shadow tag? Made happy shadows? Angry shadows? Made shadow illusions? I couldn’t get pictures of it all, but here are some of us…

making the illusion of watering a flower (he didn’t actually get wet) and watching it grow (slowly [...]

photo of the week #2…

this photo was taken on May 20, 2005. Likely a little chilly for swimming, but I’m sure they would enjoy it even if it were mid-winter…probably more so!

there’s just somethin’ about horses…

that you can’t get enough of. You are always eager to do anything with them even if it means just giving them a bath or filling their water buckets. And what amazes me most is your lack of intimidation by their size, their quirks, their noises, or their unpredictability. You seem to handle it all [...]
