My dad has been out of town for the past few days and he left me in charge of doing chores. Since my retirement in August even 7:00am seems early. But when you get to encounter this beauty of God's creation every morning it makes getting up early so totally worth it.
We rent some barns...these are them....you've seen them before I am sure.
When you pull into the drive way you are greeted by some very hungry horses who run up and down the fence like they haven't eaten in a month. They are whinnying at you. Like they are saying "Hurry up! We are starving!" Is that how you spell whinnying? Is whinnying even a word? Oh well, this is what they look like as you pull in.
These are the boys. Skid, (some day I'll tell you how he got his name. it's a very interesting story.) is in the front with County in the back ground. The girl's were lining up too, talking to me telling me to hurry up.
I think both the girls and the boys were a little annoyed that I was taking their picture instead of feeding them. They got over it though. By the end everyone was very happily eating their oats and hay.
Since it was freezing out, after all the horses were cared for I jumped in the truck and enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching the sun come up! I love doing chores, even if it is cold and early. It is so peaceful out there and beautiful. A perfect time to spend time talking with God.
Then I came home and found this in my driveway:
And I thanked God for my cat! The end!
