Muckboots n' Aprons: Horseville

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

Horseville

This is Kito, our oldest daughter's horse. She has raised him from a colt, and is training him herself. She rode him around quite a bit today and they did well!

Congrats!

We had rotten weather on and off today- hailing, cold winds, and then sun again. Teasing.

We live in "horseville"- I mean we are surrunded by horses! We are on a small horse ranch ourselves, and completely surrounded by other ranches. Horse trainer, breeders, farriers, and just horse "folks". It's so great!

One of the great benefits and convenience of where we live is that our neighbor is a farrier and when we need feet trimmed or shoes put on, we just call "down at the neighbor's house".
