Wonderful Wednesday #5

-
Hello everyone! Happy Fall! I can say that since it is after Labor Day, although it still feels a lot like summer here with the humidity. I have had such a busy week and I know things are so far behind here, but I am very excited to write this post. I have to share that my husband got a new horse last weekend and is riding again. 
It's not a great picture, but it shows him and I riding together. No, we don't hold hands riding, but our friend thought it added to the picture. It has been almost three years since he quit riding, but he decided that he was ready to ride again. This horse that I am on is Sugar and she is fairly new to me, but it's the horse that the grand doll and I rode one. 


 The pigs are still doing good and the grand doll still loves to play with them. She is certainly turning into quite the farm girl! I am so happy about that as I feel that kids that grow up on a farm know more responsibility and common sense that others might. 
I hope that you all have a great week. We will be camping again this weekend and I hope to have plenty of news for you when we return.

      It's so wonderful to show her these things in life. I truly feel that kids need these kinds of things in their lives. She brought a rabbit home the other day from a friend's house, so we have a new family member.

    Love your farm life with the horses and critters. It seems a magical place for kids to grow and learn.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
