Oh, to live like the ponies … in the moment, the future now. Roll with the flow. That’s how it goes when I’m in the basin … the only planning moving forward, one step ahead of the last.
Piedra and Briosa – last week. At the tail end of the wonderful long hike that introduced me to Coal for the first time, I caught up to a visit with Hollywood and his girls – with Bruiser and Milagro tagging along. She’s taking a sweet break here, but this little doll lives up to her name – “spirited”! I got to spend more time with them this weekend – what an absolute treat!
No new babies this week … but several are due within the next couple of weeks … some closer than others! The weather was spectacular. 4CBCH folks – cross your fingers, hold your prayers aloft – bring buckets of sunscreen and vats of water – and bug spray, the gnats are back! But if we have weather next week/end like this, what a glorious time we’ll have!
More changes to report ahead … promise.

What a photo! They both look so peaceful and inviting. I don’t think they’d mind if you pitched a tent … except for getting used to the tent! Bet you’d have noses pushing at the sides or a little face peeking in before very long. Of course, there’s always the possibility of a Mama or Papa objecting, which could be disasterous for a “two-legged”!
Ha – I don’t know about a tent, they move too often! But getting to sit with them when they pause is a huge blessing … an amazing gift I never take for granted … a joy for the ages.
