Within My Garden, rides a Bird

by Emily Dickinson

Within my Garden, rides a Bird

Upon a single Wheel --

Whose spokes a dizzy Music make

As 'twere a travelling Mill --

He never stops, but slackens

Above the Ripest Rose --

Partakes without alighting

And praises as he goes,

Till every spice is tasted --

And then his Fairy Gig

Reels in remoter atmospheres --

And I rejoin my Dog.

And He and I, perplex us,

If positive, 'twere we --

Or bore the Garden in the Brain

This Curiosity --

But He, the best Logician,

Refers my clumsy eye --

to just vibrating Blossoms!

Waiting On Spring

Moon Shadow wants to know when the green stuff gets here?

Me too!!

New Arrivals

Not growing in the garden... but out in the pasture!

The newest addition to our horse family...

Moon Shadow.

A beautiful Straight Egyptian, Al Khamsa Arabian filly.

Mom is very proud... and so am I!

Beautiful Fall...

The morns are meeker than they were,

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

Emily Dickinson

Love the fall! Bright, clear skies. Crisp air. And the scent of smoke about

as yards are raked... the crunchy remains of the summer

removed and the plants enjoy a much deserved

rest.

Wonderful evenings spent with the family out by the fire.

Discussing the week to come.

And what to plan for next weekend!

Flowers Everywhere You Look!!

This time of year, there is so much more to see along with the gorgeous turning trees

and cool weather flowers. I enjoyed my usual walk around Wiggins for the annual

merchants Halloween Trick-or-Treating!

Favorite Time of Year

Happy Halloween!!

Relief

As the world whips by

I hear the beat of my horse's pounding hooves

The concerns and worries of life rushing away

In a fury of wind and leaves.

Patience

The garden is free of leaves, branches and winter scatter. I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and saw ladies purchasing tomato plants... pepper plants... and all kinds of annual flowers. I am thinking it would be best to wait... two more weeks perhaps.

The horses are not shedding their winter coats yet. Which tells me, the cold weather is not over!!

Patience!

And I have so very little of it.
