Horses, beads, food and knitting

My life these days revolves around knitting, food, beads and horses. Or so it seems from all the pictures on the camera. It probably is a pretty accurate "picture" of my life. But my kids play a huge part in what's going on too. It's just that they don't want me to blog about them ... too much. So I don't and then you get horses, beads, food and knitting.

This is the food part.

Mr. Owl, Part 2

I wanted to write about Mr. Owl earlier but every time I started to type, the picture disappeared. As if you cared. Well, anyway Mr. Owl lives near Gypsy's barn in Delta. He was actually visiting the winery during their open house.

I had been driving down the road after taking LJ to the barn and saw that there was an open house at the winery. Since it looked like a rustic old barn conducive to picture taking, I turned in. Was I ever glad I did.

Besides Mr. Owl there were old fashioned Collectors' cars, furry, fuzzy sheep, miniature ponies,spinning wheels complete with spinning ladies and their wonderful woolly yarn,

(I did get some! Great for making socks.) beehives and their by-products,and rainbow colored tractors,

A very pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning by myself.

Early Saturday Morning on the Way to the Barn

 I don't like getting up early; I never have. But now I'm sorta' gettin' use to it. It's not so bad, really. I guess my body clock is set for these early Saturday mornings. If I get myself and LoJay a hot drink at Tim's, it kinda' helps to wake me up. We then stop by Gypsy's barn to pick up her saddle and hurry on down to "C" Stables where LoJay mucks out stalls in exchange for riding lessons. And the scenery is something you can't see any other time of the day. It's rare.

But I think I would really like to sleep in some Saturday morning. Just to see how it feels.
