Day #28 Wake

Welcome to 31 Days with Horses. 

Wake, that is a hard prompt, but I got it...... I feel Awake when I am around Horses. I feel awake when I am around God too. But I am also felling awake when I hear music, my favorite artists are: MercyMe, Francesca Battistelli, For King and Country, Moriah Peters, Jamie Grace, Mandisa, Toby Mac and Carrie Jobs. Their music is GREAT!!!! And that is what makes me feel Awake.

Day# 18 Taste

Hi! This is 31 Days with Horses!

Taste: I like food. Sometimes at the store we get to try food, a.k.a.... the taste tests.(Well at least that is what we call them). We thank God for our food, in other words... we pray. But the point is that some people don't have a lot of food. So my Dad and Mom had a idea.( Now this was in Summer when this happened). The idea was to eat Rice and Beans for a week. We did not really do it for a week, we did it for like five days. :-)

FMF/Day # 17 Long

Hi again! This is 31 Days with Horses!

Long. Days in Summer are long. I love Summer! You can play, swim.......(etc).
Life is short. The are two things that are NOT alike. So we need to remember our time on earth, and we need to stand up for what we trust in. This is me and my brothers favorite song, it is soooooooo good!:

Five Minute Friday: Nothing

I am trying something new here on the blog. It is called Five Minute Friday. It's easy. Write for 5 minutes about the prompt that Lisa Jo gives you.

 

Nothing. 

Blank sheet of paper waiting to be written on. 

Nothing. 

Soil waiting for seeds to be planted in it. 

Nothing.  

Bareback of a horse waiting for a girl to put a saddle upon it.

Nothing.

 

Amish NEIGHbors

We have Amish neighbors, and, of course, they have horses. One day we looked out the window and saw, in the pasture across the road, horses that were SOOO close to us. We told the boys, "Stay here, be good and do not let strangers in." So we went outside and walked across the road and took pictures with them.

 

 

A couple of days before we saw this horse when the Amish were around and so we asked them what its name was. "Blitz," they said. So here I am with Blitz.

Go horse, join the heard, see the light!:)

Hey, Blitz where 'ya going?

FACT: Most Amish have Dutch Warmbloods, Percherons or Haflingers.
