Christmas Eve here I am with Peyton & Tristan, my
granddaughters, helping me bring in Pony (behind the girls), Promise and Buffalo. Indiana Jones, our border-collie mix, is helping. Then the fun begins.
My daughter-in-law, Kari, is photographing this daily event. Every afternoon I bring all 3 horses back to the barn, all at once. We know the routine and our part in it and off we go. However, my horses are camera shy...or more correctly, flash bulb shy. Chaos ensues.
OK, Promise is on the loose. No problem. I often will just whistle for her to follow me and the 2 boys back to the barn. She is, after all, the smartest of my herd. I would never let Buffalo, my favorite, hear me say that. His smarts are more of the "street smarts" variety. Pony is still alarmed and not back in-line. Just takes me a second to get everyone sorted, and we proceed.
Just as Pony relaxes, back in his stall, POP goes that flashbulb. Poor little guy. His manners are sorely tested. Enough excitement for one day.

You look so HAPPY! I'm glad to see your year is ending up nicely. I've read and re-read your holiday posts, but I'll be darned if I can't seem to get going on comments.
The in-laws drained me, I tell you. I'm in full clippy snippy claw mode. I'm glad Hubby, Baby, and I are ending the year QUIETLY and alone! I am SOOOO glad to have me you this year, Charlotte---definitely on my highlight reel for 2009.
Here's to 2010!
XOXOXO
