Zoom, Zoom, Zoom... Adam gets a new car, Ashley gets a ride to school and I get to sleep longer. Yahoo! Hey, we all have our priorities.

We had a wonderful trip to Idaho to see Papa and Jamie. As you can see by the photos Idaho is wild and beautiful and pure. The vision in my head that I was unable to capture on film was of a wolf running up through the trees near Cascade Lake. A rare site that truly felt special.

Sad News:
We lost our battle to save Scout. He died in the hospital on Wed. He was a beautiful, kind, and gentle horse. He was often my inspiration. He will be greatly missed.

Hugs for Scout.
He has been in the Peterson Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala since March 17. He is undergoing tests to determine why it is so difficult for him to eat. I cant express how much we miss him. It's like a sad cloud is hanging over our house.
Someone is missing...

Hey aren't you kids supposed to be in school?

Turtle Mound
These kids are sitting on top of a huge mound of oyster shells. If you use your imagination you can visualize some Timacuan children hundreds of years ago on the same mound. This is where they piled their empty shells. At one time the mound was 75 feet tall. It is thought that they would use this mound to escape the storm surge in a hurricane. I told the kids that the next time we would take kayaks and gather our own oysters, eat them and throw the shells on the heap. You know a re-enactment of sorts.
