The Boys Are Back In Town
Three weeks ago the big, four–legged critters started appearing back at my hobby farm. First, Night Bringer, Laura's boyfriend Luke's Arabian gelding came over. Then Jerry (aka Big Red or Walker), a Quarter Horse x Thoroughbred cross, was brought in as a pasture buddy. Finally, my girlfriend Karen brought Jaxx, her Tennessee Walker, over to round out the bunch. Didn't realize how much I missed having horses on the property. I think I will be renaming the place, The Stables.
The Boys — Walker, Jaxx and Night Bringer.

Close your eyes and look at me, I'll be standing by your side.
In between the deep blue sea and the sheltering sky.
If we find no words to say to the rhythm of the waves,
then we'll both surrender there, walking on air.
