Happy birthday, Winona!

Beautiful ‘Nona-girl turned 1 today!

What a doll she was – is!

She was such a napper! It seemed like every time I saw them, ‘Nona was napping.

And from the absolute beginning, Comanche – stepdaddy – has been wrapped around her tiny hooves. When Winona was born, Kestrel was with Mahogany and Sundance – and Aspen and Comanche. Comanche quietly took up protection duties, and eventually, he, Kes and ‘Nona split into their own family.

This firstborn daughter has been loved and loved and loved.

Always, something special about her, and she has always reminded me a little of Kestrel’s little sister Hannah – outgoing!

Did I mention loved?

By more than just mama and stepdaddy … 🙂

One of my all-time favorite pix of the girl.

Such a glamour girl!

With a beautiful sense of humor!

Fairy princess

She does still love her naps!

Happy birthday, treasured girl! Your birthday (gift) came two days early! 😉 (More to come in a few days …)

Nap on, pretty birthday girl! As my hubby says, “Never stand when you can sit, and never sit when you can lay down!” He calls it “the cowboy way”. I call it something else.

Mine, too, Billie!

Linda – ha! I think she just knew she could live on mama’s milk and sunshine!

Lynn and Kathy – it was shot through some greasewood that was nearer to me than her. It was totally accidental. I was sitting or kneeling on the snow, saw her like that and just aimed and fired … loved the result. 🙂 She’s special, indeed!
