This time of year always makes me reflect on the past, and I realise how blessed we have been.  Our children are grown and gown, and happy, and still turn up on our doorstep now and then, with their spouses, and various pets(but then leave for their own homes!).  We have been blessed with good health, happiness, and a feeling of satisfaction when we turn out the lights at night.  The lambs are fed, the chickens have gone to roost in the barn, the piggers to their house, and the almost 33 year old mare is resting quietly, one foot cocked, south of the lean-to.

Life is good!
