Daily observations of my simple life.

Awakened:

I rolled over from my sleep after a difficult night. I was up and down a good part of the night. Through sleepy eyes I see a shadow at the window, the shadow of a horse. There stood Cheriki and Sage looking in the window watching me sleep. The front gate was open they could have gone off to the mountains but no, they wanted to be close to me. Two wild creatures now part of my family.  I crawled out of bed and walked out to greet them and remembered last year when they joined me on the back porch for coffee. I would enjoy that but they are so hard on my trees. I walked over to their corral and put out the hay, opened the gate and found the place where they had moved a panel to get  out. I headed to the front of the property to close the gate and they went right back in their corral. They are endearing.

It has been a busy move into summer. I have had to go to California 3 times in a month. First I went with my daughter for a visit, then my father died the following week, finally this past week my son had another operation. Dispite the circumstances I had good trips and saw family and some beautiful places. Home again ,work has finally closed on the new front and back porches, and pergula. The house has been painted and it's becoming a quiet oasis.  Pleasant.

My son is doing very well. My father was 93 and lived a full life and life is peaceful.

As always it's a treat to see you back. Sorry about the nature of your trips. Give Sage a big hug!

'Through sleepy eyes I see a shadow at the window, the shadow of a horse. There stood Cheriki and Sage looking in the window watching me sleep'

Can't really explain why but those words seem so profound and moving,
