Orange-you-glad you stopped in

June has been event-ful.  With a horse clinic and art gallery and shows and nature showing up

in orange this year.

We have Orioles feeding at our place!

We were in Swift Current visiting our blessing, Tom.

See below pics of his yard.  He has beautiful evergreens.  He also has some

different "accents" placed around the place.

I see face with a downward smile and the arm reaching up.

He must be doing something with this Mask -
I think he said he is making a body for it.
  It's a bit spooky sitting out in the sun room.

An old shed came with his property.  The shed is pretty decent inside with work bench and space for storage.  

The basketball net came from our acreage outside

Swift Current.

Tom's Pokemon Puppets

He also has his FNAF and marionette puppets (14 total)

on display at The Lyric Theatre in Swift  Current until the end of August.

Here's a couple of Iphone videos.

Tommy's Puppet Lab

As a developing Artist, my son is quite excited right now!


Grace at Horse Clinic....

A horsemanship clinic at Springside was on June 1, 2; so who participated in this?  Not me this year.
 The only horse we had that really needed to be around other horses and a new situation was Grace.  Brian rode her and I watched Friday night.  We learned that this mare is a highly sensitive horse and she needs to be treated with very light reins and subtle consistent cues. She was the only mare at this clinic so she was busy flirting and being distracted on the last day.  So thankful Brian went with her this year.

June is a wonderful month!

moments at the side of the road

 I turned in for a little stop (nature calls), on my way to Regina.

I had my new camera in the back seat, to my delight..  

It was so relaxing to just shoot nature.

rain sprinkle and B & W

Rain came yesterday, for a short time, and I thank you for that.

I know more will come again at some point this spring.

 It was so much greener and fresh in our yard, I thought

changing photos as black and white would be fun.,  Flowers, not so much,.

They need to show their beautiful colours.

We can't imagine an acreage without a tractor and it's front end loader,

 and a snow blower, picking up bales,  harrowing the garden,

weed control with a sprayer.  Nope! Just can't imagine life out here without
these pieces of equipment. 

snow blower and harrower attachments

Sprayer

front end bucket

Attachments to tractor sit back of the barn shed as we do not have a Quonset or covered

area.  Our rain water system is attached to the barn eavestrough into a white tank

then spills into large black water tub.

Colour!

Pink Geranium

Those paddles we were not using.  We criss crossed them and stood them up here in our

back deck flower bed.

Our South view from the back deck

The garden is planted!

I prefer coloured photos but it was fun to change them.

shaky video duck swim

It is exciting to see all the ducks or Mallards enjoying our pond
and I wanted to get a video before the pond water and ducks all
disappear.  We need more rain!

Watch video and see why I called it
"shaky" duck swim.





An affirmation after videoing these ducks on our pond
 today is:

I no longer worry, I do, I enjoy!
Keep swimming!

My new Nikon Cool Pix is teaching me patience and
accuracy in place of quick snapshots with my iphone and small digital cameras;
it's a hobby I take such joy in.  I wanted more zoom in power and I got it with
this camera.  It is a birthday gift from hubby!

A hobby can keep my mind sharper!

if you like purple (just sayin')

I over purchased petunias and pansies this year

and I am loving that I did that now.  Purple in our garden and

in the flower beds.

this might be too much for some of you..(hee hee)

The End

last year snaps

these photos

are from last year

and I was reviewing all my pics

to see what I can blog about

moments....

is what the following 

pics gave me

yellow!  (day lily finally bloomed)

I felt very awesome wearing this outfit

(comfy, dynamic, pattern fun)

this makes me laugh

when I saw this pic

I seemed to keep scaring these cows

when I went for my walks down

 grid road.  They would stop and stare and then
run off quite a distance to get away from me!

women's weekend retreat in Utah

says it all here and it was terrific to

hike with these hot rich ladies (type 3s)

Carol Tuttle, who is my counselor/psychologist in my life now and she gives more

healing and authenticity to her community as the only co-founder and creator of Dressing Your Truth, plus this

outfit was her best from the weekend in September!

I painted my all black Ariat cowgirl boots I purchased back

in 2010  They turned out a bit bronzed which I love!

drawing and colouring flowers was the most enjoyable and

productive in my art room this year.  I was so inspired by my 

new flower bed.

this picture of my blue Goldstone pendant was a hit

on my "yourstory" instragram pics.  It went so well

with this plaid blouse

present time now with

ending this post with this young man...

the winter olympics' snowboard events are my favourite

and I am looking forward to the "big air" snowboard jumping

on Feb 23 and 24th.  Mark McMorris from Regina is

fun to follow.  I have him energy profiled as a soft,subtle, detailed

and connected type 2 man.  His natural nature is to be relaxed and easily connected to people as well  he is very detailed so his
technicality skills when snowboarding proves that.!
