Horse Haven
One of the things we love about living here on Pleasant Chapel is that within less than a mile we have 8...yes 8... horse stables. Now and then I'll ride with my neighbor on a Tennessee Walker or ride on a wagon pulled by two beautiful draft horses with another nighbor.
We love the country!
We love the country!
The Buckeye Tree
Our kids and grandkids loved it when fall came and the ground under this buckeye tree became littered with buckeyes.
Go Bucks!
Go Bucks!
Two New Friends
Two Red Eared Slider turtles joined the other wildlife living in our pond. They were gifts from our friends Chris and Melaine Easton. We'll see if they choose to set up housekeeping at Bill's Botanical!

Blogging....Why???
Reflecting on why I enjoy blog communication so:
Reading other's blogs....
- Helps me stay in closer touch with the lives of friends, family (thanks especially to Meg who keeps our minds tantalized with pictures of our beautiful grandaughters far away!)and those friends I make through blogging (That includes you, Chloe, over there on the other side of the planet!)
- It inspires me to read and evaluate what others see as important to help me evaluate and adjust my own set of values. (Thanks Pastor Wes for key insights)
- Each of our lives is so unique...so valuable....it's like having a treasure chest of life experiences at the touch of a button.
- It helps bridge the generation gap...(thanks Elizabeth!)
- As Pat and I get older our world is going to shrink...This is and will be one way to "keep it big!" I enjoy checking on the blog of a lady in Arizona (walkingprescott.blogspot.com) who loves blogging ........at 80 years of age!
Publishing my own blog....
- Helps me communicate ideas and the beauty I see, especially in nature, to others. I take joy in publishing pictures of the beauty around me and writing captions about there meaning. Lil says after watching my blog she has canceled her subscription to Birds and Blooms magazine!
- I like hearing from others in far away places ...and nearby... when you comment on my adventure
Here for your enjoyment are what I saw from behind the lens in "our world" this morning!
We love each of you in our "blogging world!"
