Several times since we’ve moved in to Peace.Love.Home I’ve spotted a trio of horses in the pasture next door. I’ve ridden a few times in my life, but I wouldn’t consider myself a horse person. Still, which each sighting of the trio, my heart quickens a bit. With their heads bowed to graze, tails swishing and skin twitching, they are mesmerizing. This week The Devil and I ventured to the fence for a closer look.
The Devil made fun of my attempt to call them over. “It’s not a dog,” he laughed.
A few kissy sounds, whistles, and tongue clicks later…
I love to get the last laugh, especially when it’s not alone.
The horse smelled fantastically horsey. He shook a dirt cloud on me, sniffed, sized me up with both sides of his head, and then waited expectantly for me to pet his soft, snorty nose. I was happy to oblige.

Little by little we’re completing projects.
As my belly dancer friends know, I’ve been trading in my sequins, glitter, rhinestones, and beads for this….
Yesterday I sold my bloomers and daggers. I’m not kidding.
Upon a moment’s reflection, I just realized that this makes the second time I’ve posted my underwear on my blog.
Scandalous.
I guess technically, they’re not my undies anymore, they’re Beth’s. HaHa, Beth, I posted your undies!
In case you’re just joining the panty adventures and have missed these important highlights, here are links:
….and honestly, I have no idea how I’ve strayed so far from the original point. Now, where was I?
Oh, yes. Projects! I’m completing them.
I hung fish in the forest!
Now I have six fish swimming in the trees among the birdhouses. Oh, I know! Let’s play a game: How many fish can you spot in the picture below?
We also finished the herb garden. It was a joint effort. The Devil made the planters and A-frame stand out of pallets. I made the labels out of forks and tin-can lids. (That last sentence made me feel very ‘Adam Sandler’ in his Pedro skit, “I once made a hat out of a lobster and a stick.”)
Those planters hold basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, rosemary, thyme, carrots, and arugula. Yum!
There are many, MANY projects in the works. Not enough time to report on them all. Please tune in later for updates on the rennovations to the cottage.

They are beautiful. There was intelligence and curiosity in that fella’s eyes.

Love the pics of the horses. I want to come give them a pet on the nose.
Ok…as far as count the fish…I think I see 4? Oh wait…I clicked on the picture and made it bigger…6 fish?
Also love the “old bloomer” and “new bloomers” reference! hehe
Wendell and I were admiring the way ya’ll stacked up the herb garden. Very nice. Now you need to paint it different colors! mmmhmm Yep!

Come and pet them on the nose!
All six fish appear in the picture. 🙂
I started to create an old daggers and new daggers (thorns on the rosebush) picture, but I ran out of time.
That planter is gonna have to stay its natural color indefinitely. I can’t spend any more on paint!

Stream of consciousness blogging is the best! I love how you moved from topic to topic and included your–Beth’s–underwear. Forest fish are cool, as well as that horse’s eye. I love Eye of Horse.

Beautiful pictures of the horses. It’s been a while since I have been able to get that close to a horse and I miss it!

It had been a long time since I had been that close to a horse myself. I had forgotten how much I like the way they smell.

Love the undies! I don’t usually consider myself a horse person, either, but the wisdom and gentleness that oozes from them whenever I see one up close is unmistakable.
