As for me, with kids in their 30's, three grand kids recently graduated and three of the other four in high school, it's second childhood time for me. For my middle age crazies, I've kind of time warped into the Old West, where hubby and I have five horses at The Dusty Boots Corral, which we built in Joshua Tree, CA. When not feeding, medicating, grooming, riding, doing ground work or mucking manure around the corral; I'm taking pictures of the horses; which I often use to make Email stationery; exploring the desert, shopping online, reading...
In 2007 we built the house that had been our dream for four years. This is where we and our horses, birds and cat will all live together at one home in Joshua Tree. Our 2008 goal is to build the new horse facilities at the house. At least now we're 0.8 miles from the horses instead of 8 miles, as we were before, so it's not much of a trip twice a day for feeding etc. I'm still really looking forward to seeing the horses from my window though.
Some of my friends know the story of Neighbor, that "piglet" in the background image, who nearly lost his life last year and was named for the people who helped me save him. I'm happy to report he's now nearing two and will be started under saddle this Spring by our neighbor James at the Joshua Tree Ranch . We recently traded Neighbor's mom Jazy to James; who who fell in love while training her; as it opened many opportunities for Jazy. She usually does great for him, but I couldn't help get a big kick out of this video of her and James:
Now I KNOW I traded the right horse.
