To Be A Child

Do you remember what it was like to be a child and participate in sports or play in hundred degree weather and not be bothered? Yesterday we had such a day and the grands also had their riding lessons. I won't say they weren't hot but they were able to really enjoy themselves; I think about riding in this weather and say no thank you. I think the horses were probably saying no thanks as well.  The horse our girl was on actually was ridden twice, first by Miss F and then by Mr. B.

 Look at that smile!  Can you see how happy she is?

Mr. B, future rancher, focusing on his instructions.

Our big guy, JJ, got a new horse who was several years younger and had a lot of energy; in fact JJ almost got into a canter when trotting.

This morning our sweet little guy, Hunter, is getting into mischief. He has been pulling on my tank top all morning and then he ran over to our living room, jumped up on the couch(without being invited)and if you see the napkins-well he was pulling one over to chew on it.  I need to get him out for a walk before it gets too hot, but the kiddos above  have swimming lessons that I will go watch; I guess the walk will have to wait until this evening, maybe just a quick one this morning.  I am going down the road to have lunch with two blogging buddies, we are going to a new place called Basil Flats and I will try to get some pics. We always have a great time visiting and catching up.
Joy to you today~Noreen & Hunter.

  1. Oh that Hunter just made me laugh out loud. I can see him now. I did not know that we have to be invited to sit on the couch.
    Blessings,

  4. Childhood. I wish I could return there from time-to-time. I have no doubt these grands will never forget the special times atop their trusty steeds.

  5. Getting up onto the couch was one of the battles we chose not to fight with 2 large dogs. I just threw a cover over the couch (to keep the upholstery from getting too dirty) and let them claim the couch as theirs. We didn't sit on it anyway. ;-) I still look at the couch now, uncovered, and think that I need to get that cover back on their before the dogs jump up on the couch! ;-)

    Sounds like you're going to have a good day!

  8. I rode my old burro on many a hot day and it never bothered me a whit...nor did riding my bicycle all over the place. Hunter is full of puppiness. xo Diana

  9. How wonderful it must be to be a grandmother and be able to witness such joy. I think when you are a mother you are too busy to appreciate all the nuances of these stages in life. It truly is a blessing to be a grandmother...perhaps my time will come some day.
    Who are the blogging buddies? would love to know... :)
