Sorry.

OK OK OK,  a little coaxing and I'm BACK.  I honestly went to do a new post... like two weeks ago (no I'm not 12, just being frank) and could not come up with anything that was worthy.  I wrote about 5 posts and they all... stunk.  Not that things are boring ...exactly the opposite, but things seemed trite, whiney and false.

So, it occured to me yesterday what I should do:  BLOG EVERYDAY... with a MIMIMUM OF ONE PHOTO and make it the TRUTH.  Not long wordy posts, but the everyday that several of us probably go through, and a general status update and to keep things upbeat.

For example:

Java's perfect (well, still a little lame, but I don't know what's wrong, but she's still happy as ever).

The dogs are so adorable that I've considered engineering a dumb waiter to transport Mackie to the second floor so that we can spend more time together. (we live in a super old house and the stairs are not Labrador Appoved).

A bird pooped on my CLEAN barn jacket sleeve in the morning and it was so cold that I ate my cereal with my jacket on and THEN saw the bird poop.  ICK.

Sun's mom (the horse that left a while ago) apparently has been to A LOT of barns and has not lasted anywhere for long, looks like she did me a favor by making the decision on her own to leave without me having to ask her.

I'm working on getting a ton of things done by the end of the month and actually forget to call family members back.  SORRY.

I've had plenty of boarding inquiries, and the one that I wanted to come the most can't ($) but I so wanted to come into the barn and greet a horse named Twinkie every day, that is good for a laugh daily. 

See... isn't this more fun?!  And there's so much to say when I don't feel like I have to write a story about it.

Same mediocre (spell check button, where is it?) photos, same Javacentric world.  Daily.  Just for you guys.

Glad to be back and I'm looking forward to writing a great blog.  A great blog that you will actually tell your friends about, friends that don't even have horses or get pooped on by birds.  They might like it too.  We'll see...

Sorry, I wrote this after it was dark.  Let's see what I can dig up for photos... somehow none of Java.  Well, that will be on the top of the list tomorrow!:

The Management Team:

Leaves starting to turn... sorry it's blurry.

This is actually a photo from last year, but it could have been this afternoon:

The mornings are a little darker, but the Fall light is pretty:
