Vet day at the farm
Wait like air traffic control
Snow began to fall.

Farrier, dentist
And a new horse to the farm
Sweat rolls down my back.
Art Prescription: A wonderfully busy day at Blue Skies today! I drove out early hoping to get their before Bodie, the new horse, arrived on a trailer. It was shaping up to be an exciting morning around the barn. Of course Max, the barn cat, was asleep with his legs dangling in the back room.
Bodie arrived and even with all the activity, he got off the trailer cool, calm, and collected. The fact that horses live in the moment is demonstrated over and over again.
So I thought we all might need an ice-cream cone:

Watermelon juice
Runs sticky down my arms, drips
Black seeds hit the ground.
Art Prescription: On a hot day nothing say’s summer like a slice of watermelon. And if you are from the south…the spitting contest is ON!

Dried by sun and breeze
Clothes and towels hang on line
Load of fresh laundry.
Art Prescription: My grandmother’s towels smelled like fresh air and sunshine. I can see her right now with an apron on, clothespins in the pocket, reaching up to the clothesline to hang a fresh load of laundry.

At the sideline, I
Watch her canter through the field
I’m jealous and proud.
Art Prescription: This beautiful young lady rides my horse Finn on Tuesdays. She loves him. Today I watched her ride and felt both a sense of true pride to see my beautiful horse move, and I have to admit, jealousy. It’s okay though, it’s a win-win, and is super good for him. He OF COURSE! knows I’m his momma and loves me MORE. LOL, Sweet boy…

Art Prescription: Know what you need. Now…honor that. Simple.

Fall, Orange County
The fields, acres of fresh dirt
Tractor tracks remain.
Art Prescription: As I drive past Maple View Farm on the way home from riding Finn, the fields are so freshly plowed they glow orange.
