What an unbelievable storm you had ~ are you still in the south of France? I was so concerned when Michael read the news on his IPad!!! It's been quite a summer for you there!!
Hoping you can still enjoy your Holiday!!

Warmest Wishes to you and to Eric!

My children learned how to ride on a palomino that was half pony and half Tennessee Walker with a western saddle. Every time I see a blond mane I think of her. Her name was Goldie naturally. They now ride English, but they were only 4 years old, and I felt more secure with more saddle.

Hi Sharon!!!

I'm known as Snow White because of my love of animals. These pictures are
beautiful!! As I was looking at some of the pictures, I had a couple of captions come into my head.

1. The trio of geese: You pick your right foot up and you shake it all
about…

2. The basset hounds: Our noses are still too white. We have to stay out
in the sun just a little while longer.

3. The beautiful horses: I told you she was a great mane dresser!! Your
blonde mane looks simply gorgeous!!

Have a great August 1st!!!

Evening!
I have just discovered your blog and spent a happy evening catching up on all of your entries. It is so wonderful to read and as much as I love living in the countryside it is always a pleasure to delve into the French countryside and your lovely French home.

Thank you for delightful glimpses into your french country day…

Mmmmm, I am especially taken with the horses with the pale manes. Magical…

And I have to tell you… Every time I come to your blog, your header picture takes my breath away. Yours is one of the most beautiful Header Pics I have seen, in Blog Land.

Are those the hound ladies from the flea market that we met in your village? I am trying desperately to remember their names. I love them all!
