Rain on a tin roof
Makes a barn nice and cozy
Horses get more hay.
Art Prescription: So I was out caring for Finn while two classes of 8 to 10 year old girls came to the farm for lessons. A steady rain meant no riding, but there is so much more to learn at the barn about caring for horses. It’s getting cool tonight so the girls helped put out extra hay for all.

Time specializes
In alterations of dreams
It is not too late.
Art Prescription: As I went about helping to prepare the farm for a winter storm, I had a thought of wishing this love had of occurred earlier in my life. Then I realized it’s just PERFECT.

Makings of happy!
Art Prescription: I love being out at the farm in the morning with the horses. They greet me close to the gait waiting for their breakfast. Fresh hay is very exciting. The cardinals are singing and the clouds break into sunshine.

There in the soft hay
A mid-day nap in the sun
Hear small puffs of breath.
Art Prescription: Went out to get Finn and he was so peaceful. I sat cross-legged and just watched him breathe.

Running down a dream
We chase money, fame, fortune
Chance to simply bloom.
Art Prescription: To be at peace with yourself is to be at peace with others…What are we chasing? A flower plans a whole year just to bloom, if only for one day…

Into the future!
Art Prescription: Spent most of my day clearing a new path for horse-back riding! Beautiful day, and I can’t wait to bring Finn over to these beautiful woods.

Horses my teachers.
Art Prescription: I’ve spent much of my holiday time out at the farm. It occurs to me that I’m learning patience, tolerance, and that throwing bales of hay to horses is extremely therapeutic!! Lovely views…

Lean on me today
I will stand tall and strong now
Catch you if you fall.
Art Prescription: This post is for my brother, who reminded me over the holidays that he is here for me. Through thick and thin he is there to lean on.

Aw-hee, caw, caw, caw
December sounds from the farm
Donkey, crow, blue-birds!
Art Prescription: I somehow spent my entire day at the farm. Even took a “nap” in the back of my van. So peaceful! Just the sunshine and sounds of the critters.
