Almost September!
I think September is my favorite month--there's that fall zip in the air, that sense that something wonderful and exciting is about to happen. For me, that feeling of impending adventure probably goes back to the old days, when school was starting again--new shoes,...
Yeehaw, I’m rollin’!
I kept intending to write yesterday's blog, but I was already too deep into "Big Sky River" to focus on anything else. Lots of prayers and no hay deliveries or appointments or sick horses helped. And I must credit going low-carb with part of this burst of energy I'm...
I’m late
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date! (No, it's not MY date. It's Boone and Tara's--things are heating up in "Big Sky River" country, and nothing will happen if I'm not there.) 🙂 I enjoyed a relatively quiet weekend, did some art, puttered,...
Musings
It's still pretty warm here in Spokane, but that hint of fall is definitely there. YES. The blossoms on my Veteran's Honor roses are full and bright red, another reminder that God is the most brilliant artist of all. Now is the time to cut a plump, dozy blossom and...
Sunshine on my shoulders
Makes me happy! Lots of work to do, so I'm keeping this short today. The weather is just plain glorious--very sunny, but not so wickedly hot. 🙂 That hint of fall is definitely in the air, though, and I've seen a few changing leaves already. I'm not dreading winter...
One of THOSE days
Yesterday wasn't a BAD day--I don't have those, subscribing, as I do, to the philosophy that if I can open my eyes in the morning and get out of bed, it's a good day. 🙂 It would be more apt to say that yesterday was an inconvenient day. Murphy's Law, run amok--if...
“Lindy, study up on your rodeo”
This very good advice showed up in a letter from my stepmother--I'm checking Amazon to see if there's a book called "Rodeo for Dummies"! What was I thinking? Who knows--bullriding is my favorite event so I have no excuse. Once again, my fault. 🙂 You won't see...
Yes, Linda, it really IS Friday
Again! It seems impossible. I'm writing today--and tomorrow--and Sunday--right on through to the end of "Big Sky River". I normally don't work weekends, but having been sick so much, etc., I have some catching up to do. The good news is: I feel great! "Big Sky...
Discoveries
Good writing day yesterday, and I'm expecting another today. Hallelujah! So grateful to be feeling better... I've been thinking about discoveries a lot lately--especially after Jeremy and I visited that wonderful art supply store in New York. While there, I bought...
Starting off with a bang!
Literally. Not an hour ago, a wind came racing up through the draw behind my house and swelled beneath the giant umbrella atop my outdoor table to send it flying. In the process, the glass top of said table shattered into a billion pieces! Fortunately, no pets or...
Libraries
On Saturday I visited two libraries here in the Spokane area--I've probably mentioned how dear these institutions are to me--and it was a wonderful experience. First, I stopped off at the Moran Prairie Branch, where I spoke to a lively group of readers with a lot of...
J. Peterman is back
Who, you ask, as you well might, is J. Peterman? He's the founder of the J. Peterman Company. (Doesn't help much, does it? 🙂 ) Since reading "Simple Abundance" many moons ago, I've been a fan of this unique mail order company--I especially love the catalogs, and...
