Just within this last month, my dad - while clearing some things out since Mom's passing - gave me the nippers we had back on the ranch. Sweet memories for me.

I so enjoy my visits to your home and you sure have been busy. So glad you found Jared for the horses and his professional expertise. What a blessing. The tomatoes look so delicious. They will be a wonderful winter blessing to have on the shelf. I used to can with my mother every summer and we put up many quart jars of tomatoes which made the best sauce.<br /><br />Your sweet fur babes are adorable. Thank you for sharing such interesting posts. Always something to learn here and leave inspired.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful day.<br />Blessings~Celestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-76541011609793360062014-06-24T10:20:25.229-04:002014-06-24T10:20:25.229-04:00Glad you found a farrier you like.

You take such excellent care of all the critters. HayJ is so pretty. I don't think I've ever seen that color combo on a horse before. Because of all our Blue Bird boxes, there's been several broods of babies raised this year. Does my heart good to see so many in the yard. Wish I could share in the canned tomatoes. They sound scrumptious! Take it easy today. You deserve it.
