                                                      Snug inside,
                                                             despite the snow,
                                                                  spring blooms........................

3-27-11

 

Some days, there IS light at the end of the tunnel......

3-24-11

a meeting of the minds
   harbingers of spring
     waiting for the thaw
        dismal little creatures
            bane of my existence

3-22-11

                              One ear listening to me, one ear listening ahead- always listening.......

March 8

 

Harbingers of spring, so minuscule, that one must take care in moving forth.............

February 11

A heavy curtain of  lashes hides the window to the sweet inner soul..........

February 9

                                  A day in the life...........................

                       A horse- a horse lover- a farrier-
                             Three lives intertwined
                    You can't have one without the other

February 8

A large stone, a small stone, a river of stones...............................

        Like our poetry and words- all different,

                              but

                          somehow, 

              when clustered together

       They create one flowing thought.............................

February 7

There is music in my soul, it comes forth in my art...................
Like stacks of little boxes, with secrets hidden within.
Open each one, and you never know what will be inside..........

February 4

        Thank you, O Lord, for this bounty spread before us (er, uh, ME!) AMEN!

February 3

the snow is gone
  what can I say?
    over night, it stole away......
        and, in its haste, I saw with a start-
            it left one tiny, cold, melting  heart..............................

February 1st

                                                 You have reached Pat..............
                                      At the sound of the beep, please leave a message
                         I am out restoring my sanity-all it takes is a warm horse and cold snow!

January 31

 ~ waiting for breakfast~

      dismal gray day

   matching his feathers

   his light as air armor

   warding off the cold

still a cheery countenance

  happy trilling emanates 

we should all heed his lesson

        ....and sing.......

January 27- Thinking of Spring

Fast

Run

                                                                                Eager
                                                                                Equine
                                                                                Dancing
                                                                                Ornery
                                                                                 Moving on!

                                                                              FREEDOM!

January 29

silent snow
    cushioning the world
            against
                 the harsh barbs
                          of
                        reality

January 28

 

snow envelopes the world

words escape

snow speaks for itself

January 27

 

sno-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w  happy!!!!!

January 26- Daily Life Is Not Always Pretty

                                                            
The Face of Bacon

I woke up this morning and what did I see?
Five little piggies staring at me
Strung up on stakes
Heads and feet in a pot
Happy little piggies-
These are NOT!

Hog butchering day is an annual affair
A gathering of families in cold winter air
Cooking up a year's worth of family meals
Using everything from the pigs
Except
     for
THE SQUEALS!

January 25

sharp, cold barbs blending together to form a heart..........

January 24

*******************************************************************
    Just a pile of stones
      shades of gray
 seemingly all the same
             yet
     all so different
kind of like faces in a crowd
  the differences lie within.
