Every morning is a gift, a fresh start … the new day is full of discoveries and positive happenings … even amidst challenges. At least, it can be thus if we don’t forget to balance our focus.
Remember this: TODAY you are here on earth for a reason. You have talents and qualities that can bring goodness to the lives of those around you. That idea alone is a high calling! A kind smile, an encouraging word, a fun and loving gesture, offering the gift of listening – – simple things can change someone’s day. For that matter, building others up changes US for the better.
Sweetening a day for someone else is a sure way to do the very same thing for ourselves.

I just had such a lovely "visit" with you/your pictures. I suppose your young friend was thrilled with the pictures? I was! Sure liked the black and white also!
I see what you mean about not-too-much-daylight under the Corgi; so sweet. Thanks for the pics!
I love this time of year when the horses are so sleek. Also it appears you don’t have the usual brown grasses common this time of year. We’re pretty dry this year in California, but have had an unusually cool summer.
Love your gardens. They are such an inspiration!
As always another wonderful visit with you and all your lovlies – containers, flowers, young friends (great pic’s), words, awww sweet baby Miss Sally, way to go sis — snag the glamper and the beautiful horses, what a joy to have a visit with you. Thanks Shery, God Bless
I am so glad that you got to ‘meet’ such a wonderful spider. I believe that it is a crab spider. They change their color to match their background and do not have webs. They simply wait for their meal to come to them! They have always fascinated me..
That little Miss Sally is the cutest. No wonder you couldn’t resist her! Your gardens and views are beautiful. Ribbon is one gorgeous girl.
I have a beet addiction going on and my blood pressure is DOWN. Going to research that!
As usual, your pictures are wonderful…
You have made my day. When I grew up in Burns Oregon, I had friends who lived on ranch’s, had to my Mom had a fear of Horse’s and I a huge love for them. So I rode at all my friends ranch’s. Even did a cattle drive, bareback and farm horse. We got along great. Your pictures and comments bring me back to a wonderful time. I am 70 now and lost my husband of 27 years last Nov. I am moving on to a Manufactured home park in the city of Salem. I will live through you and your wonderful description of your ranch life. Thank you and God Bless you.
Oh Shery, I LOVED every little word and photo in your post and the message is one we all need to be reminded of more often than not I’m afraid. It’s so true about what an eden of your own no matter the size will bring to your corner of the world. I marvel at the insects, toads, butterflies, bees, snails, moths, hummingbirds, squirrels, snakes and birds that visit my garden. It’s truly amazing. Your little Sally O Malley is A DOR A BLE! May I introduce her to Max? And Ribbon is beautiful beyond words.
Thanks for sharing your view from the saddle. As always it’s a delight and a lift when we visit!
Hugs from the east!

Hi Shery, I love all of your posts, but I think this one is my favorite one so far. The senior pictures of your friend are beautiful, great job! Your little Sally ‘O Malley is adorable!! These little Corgi’s are just the best! I love, love mine to pieces. Love your idea for the fall bird garden and your flowers are so pretty!! Ribbon looks beautiful as usual, she really is a fantastic looking mare. Can’t wait to see the pictures of the new glampers campers! What fun you girls must have on your get-aways. Well until next time…..Blessings to you.
Thanks, I needed some positive today…sigh. I live in a lovely part of the country, but, I work in a really ugly place, a men’s prison. I am so often bombarded with such negative ugly. In a few years I will retire from "that place". It is my fervent hope that my attitude toward the human race improves. Thanks again for the lovely pictures and the uplifting words, I really needed it.
Shery, just love your photos and the puppy is so cute. When you do your quotes I copy them in a book I have for further reading and whether yours or some you have quoted, I love them. Your ranch is beautiful and I can get lost in the reading. I also want to be a glamper, I’m almost 70 and have an eighty year old husband who is sick so I guess I never will be, only by dreaming. That’s ok because I read about you girls all the time. Take care and keep up the good work, Love ya farm sister, Juanita
