Can you believe it... I've been here almost a year. I know I was delinquent in putting arrangements together this summer (ha, ha, ha...we haven't had summer!) because I just couldn't pick flowers. They were so amazing...so instead, I took a lot of photos. But, today Flanagan and I went for a walk in our "new" forest. It's quite different, but equally as beautiful as those I've explored this past year. I'm living in a area that has tons of horses so my walk is along trails with plenty of horse doo doo. A large portion of it is through a very deep forest with overarching branches. I just keep thinking that a flock, pod, posse, troop, school, or whatever you call a bunch of horses with knights aboard will come storming along the trail. I can often hear dogs howling in the distant woods. The neighbor said that they do fox hunts in those woods so I must be careful that Flan isn't mistaken for a very strange fox...the dogs could kill her in an instant...she might think she's a big, tough girl, but she's a real woose in reality. Today she headed off into some brush, but got stuck and "mom" had to come to her rescue. I was sitting on a rock waiting for her to return (ha, done this before haven't I!!) and I heard her whimpering in the brush. Well, she was just too little to jump over the brambles and needed help. Guess I'm good for something, sometime in her book!!
Anyway, my August arrangement is wild current berries and turning leaves. Can you believe that "summer" is coming to an end and fall will be upon us in no time. I'm just not ready for it yet!!
