This is how my mare is shedding her winter coat

She is a very light colored Palomino. This is where the winter coat has started to fall out.Believe it or not there is hair there.She is six years old and from the looks of things changing color. I don't believe she is a true Palomino in color.She has gray in her mane and tail and one white spot that only shows in the summer. I thought they changed their color at a younger age.It is going to be interesting to see.As I groomed her yesterday I saw more and more of the darker color.

So a lot of people say that when they shed this much at once it means we are in for one hot Summer. I don't know if that is true or not.But I won't complain after the winter we had this far South. Do you think taht is true or a myth ? Several horses are shedding to the point they look bald in spots but there is a fine cover of fuzz.

The below picture is how she has looked since I bought her.She is fatter now! By the way , her name is Summer!

So a lot has changsd.

For years since all my kids were grown I stopped cooking dinner. For some reason I decided to start back....Boy that first dinner was like a shipwreck!! Everything went wrong and to be honest I did not want to do it.The next few days got easier.Then a car needed work so my husband is out there happily helping,which I don't mind at all.Except for the fact I have a dishwasher I have had for almost a year and it is not hooked up yet!!That seemed to strike a nerve.I stay moody a lot lately,maybe I need hormones!! So I talked to my husband...telling him how things are changing and he said...You sure have been making some good supper honey...I couldn't help but bust out laughing .I had been neglecting him.Not to mention the kids that are here with me so that made me feel better.Once I read this it sounds kind of stupid of me huh? But you have to know that for several years I have done my own thing so the change up,which is a small one,seemed huge to me!I can still work in what I want to do.I have a new Grand daughter that is just beautiful.She is a week old.There is another one on the way.I have two Grandsons.I love them all dearly. I have horses which I have put aside for the time being.My husband,and sons have been taking care of them.They need grooming something bad! They are shedding out their winter coats.They are in the barn today so maybe I can get out there and work on them and their stalls.
Anyway..no one probably wants to read this but I thought I thought it was worth posting!

If The World Hates You.....

John 15:18-27



¹⁸"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
¹⁹If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
²⁰Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.'^b]"> If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
²¹They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.
²²If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
²³He who hates me hates my Father as well.
²⁴If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
²⁵But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'^c]">

²⁶"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.

²⁷And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

Feel like your Life is Falling apart?

I sit and watch and learn a lot of things.One thing I have come to learn is that no matter what happens in your life,or maybe I should say our lives, is that God is in control and has a reason for everything that happens.When we feel as if we are in a hurricane do we blame God?Sometimes that is what it takes for him to get our undivided attention.My Mom use to have to tell me all the time....and sometimes she still does..you are not doing what God would have you do.I use to tell her that she was wrong.She wasn't.I was 42 years old when I finally got myself right with the Lord.Boy did I miss out on a lot of wonderful things because of my refusal to say I was wrong.Here is what I learned today...

* Everything we have is in God's hands.
* God and evil do not hang out.(Dark can't stand the light.)
* Be willing to listen to God And expect to hear from him.
* Life is not about us it is about God.
* God has the battle it is not ours to fight
* There is nothing you can hide from God.( So why do we try at all?)

I know this,I want my heart to chase after God. I want to be the best servant possible.I want to teach the same to my children,some are going through some very hard times that I pray will put them back close to him and not wait until they are in their forties

Any way that is a small part of what I have learned today there was a lot more.Pray for my Family as some are hurting.Pray that it draws them closer to God instead of pushing them the opposite way.
