Horses Riding Into Critters Saturday

Good morning to
 SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

All critters are welcome.



"Our perfect companions
never have fewer than four feet."
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette



I was so incredibly happy to see our sweet moose returned to us again.
I wrote about him months ago when it had been removed due to vandals.



You'll see a few photos from
 this weekend's Lakeville Art Festival.






"A piece of art that speaks to you can open windows 
in a room you hadn't even known was dark."
Lilah Pace





"All art is but dirtying the paper delicately."
John Ruskin







"You can not get before you give.
Wood cannot give you warmth
before you start the fire."
Debasish Mridha





Rusty just before he gets his treat.




He offers his paw.

A bit of cowboy wisdom. From a book written by a dear family friend
 which has much about my grandfather's life as an Arizona Cowboy,
 and ironically blends  with life today.

History repeats until the lesson is learned.



Our urgent duty is "Let's not return to days of the old west."
Although let's keep riding horses.







Opportunity calls to the man who
 is strong enough to make his stand.





Sometimes where man carries the law on his hip
where justice turns on the coin's flip,
Where the best and the worst live side by side,
and the good and bad ride together,
This is where we make our rightful stand.





Our hardest ride of all,
 unless we ride together 
so we shall prosper. 






Live like a tree, (or a critter) 
giving, forgiving and free."
Debasish Mridha



"You will do foolish things,
 but do them with enthusiasm."

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

Thank you for your visits, enjoy the rest of your weekend
and take good care of you.
