A Poem

The Warmth Of A Horse

When your day seems out of balance
and so many things go wrong
When people fight around you
and the clock drags on so long
When some folks act like children
and fill you with remorse
Go out into your pasture and wrap
your arms around your horse.

His gentle breath enfolds you as he
watches with those eyes
He may not have a Phd
but he is oh so wise
His head rests on your shoulder
you hug him good and tight
He puts your world in balance
and makes it seem alright.

Your tears will soon stop flowing
the tension will be eased
The nonsense has been lifted
you are quiet and at peace
So when you need some balance
from the stresses in your day
The therapy you really need
is out there eating hay.

This was sent to me by a good friend. I have had it saved for awhile. Her timing could not have been any better, when this was sent to me I was feeling like I didn't have much to wrap my arms around. Hugging your horse is very healthy it makes me feel better without fail everytime. It also works with cats and dogs.......imagine that.

Sunday Challenge" Currency"

I don't know how to make this particular challenge very interesting, after all money is money right.......well because I don't have samples of different currencies from around the world I will have to be satisfied with a run down on our own .

The first pic is what our money used to look like from the front. I am missing a 10 dollar bill. The second pic is of course the backside.We had kind of pretty money, and a nice thing about it is you always knew what amount you were handing over without having to look at it very hard. Well things change and quite frequently not for the better.

Our wonderful government reps. decided that we should get rid of our dollar and go to a coin instead. Us regular people did not want that but hey they did it anyhow.....what's one more coin in your pocket?

So the gold coin you see is our infamous Looney (1 Dollar) It used to have a Loon on it..... I still haven't figured out if they call it a looney because of the bird or the astronomical stupidity of the coin itself. If that venture into lunacey wasn't enough ....after the dust settled the powers that be decided we should have a 2 dollar coin.... that would be the one with the gold in the middle. There has been talk in the past of making a 5 dollar coin, I think they are waiting a little longer on that one as the people still haven't quite settled down over the twooney. I think it is a conspiracy between the government and retailers 1 to make Canadians loose weight cause they say too many of us are obese 2 carrying around all those coins rips out the pockets of your pants and also wears out the bottom of purses and whatever other kind of crap you have to carry to have your money on your person...works out brilliantly for the banks, everybody uses their cards because it's to hard to carry money and they nail you everytime you use it. Uhh the joys of money. Well that's enough of that tirade. There are other forms of currency, I'm sure all around the world has this or something along the same lines. You get to go spend a bunch of money and then get a few cents back. I guess that's better than nothing.

I am also a firm believer in the barter system. There is always someone out there willing to trade an item or services for something you have. As an example I trade some of these and get my Bookkeeping done for me.....you gotta like that!

Well that's it for me. Hope you all have a wonderful day ....or tomorrow depending on where you are.

Link to Canadian Flag

Good morning. I have had to do another post on the Canadian Flag because I did a terrible job explaining about it. For some reason if you click on my flag you don't go where you are supposed to. So go to www.muddybootdreams.blogspot.com not only do you get to go to a cool blog but she has a perfect link and a perfect explanation. Scroll down until you see her flag on the right side of her blog, sorry for the confusion. Hey give me a break.........I can barely do the basics on this thing......but I'm trying. Have a great day all.

Canadian Flag

Good morning fellow bloggers. Since my patience has run out, I decided to do a post instead.I was wondering around in a blog I follow and this is what I saw.I was so impressed I immediately followed the instructions, so I too would have such a wonderful thing on my blog. In spite of my best efforts I did not quite succeed in placing things where I wanted them. I also was unable to get a proper link for others to go and get a flag if they choose. So here is places you can go. You can link onto Muddy Boot Dreams which is to the left on my page under Interesting Sites, or try
http://familytreesmaycontainnuts.com/ this is where I ran into trouble, because of my ineptness with this silly machine and a total lack of patience. Better luck to you and I hope to see a bunch of flags flying. Have a great day.




P.S It would appear that I did do something correctly but I will leave the post for the link. Is anyone else out there as computer illiterate as me?(Da)

Wordless Wednesday

Sunday Challenge" Halloween "

I'm not much of a big doer of Halloween but I went around and tried to find some cool decorations, I was disappointed when I really didn't find much all that inspiring.

The little guy below was a lot of fun in his pirate suit.

The kids candy gatherer What would a party be without balloonsWe found this guy hanging around along with a few of his cronies.

As it turned out they had a few followers and it turned out to be a real gathering.

And to finish it off here are a few pumpkins that were carved by a youngster we know.
That's it for me guys. I look forward to seeing your spooky. Have a great week.
