3 gifts in dirt

today's three gifts in dirt came as the result on one event...

i went on a trail ride put on by harry and charlie at their family's ranch...

the first gift of the day was meeting new people who took this city girl under their wings, new friends are always a gift...

the second was the time outdoors in the dirt and seeing all the things God creates to delight us with...trees, grass, flowers, vines, and so many others...

the third gift was meeting the dirt up close and personal after falling off my new friend Taupey and being okay in spite of a few bruises, bumps, and abrasions...the ground is a little harder at 50 than it used to be...they say that if you fall off you need to get back on and i will, but for now ice bags are calling my name....

this is what i saw most of the day

this is what i saw right before i fell

taupey showed me a lot of dirt this way today

there were many other gifts this day, but these three were the ones to share...

just over this rise is where i met the dirt up close and personal

thank you harry and charlie for letting this city girl play in the dirt!  God willing i will be back again and i hope double trouble has fun with the rides to come.  i thank God that i was able to go and pray you know what a gift you have in this place and those you share it with.
