ahhh, the sweet, warm sunshine! i have needed it so! oooh, how i have needed it. the grass is green and the afternoons are golden, and we’ve been practicing our magical dandelion tricks! i don’t think there’s anything that makes me happier than sunny, grassy, frolicy afternoons. i feel so fortunate to have a place to stretch my legs and bask among the glowy horse silhouettes.
and hey! in my recent searches through clover patches, i finally found myself a four leaf clover! only… one of its leaves had already been chewed on a little by a bug. and haha… i kind of have to laugh when i think about that, because it maaaybe feels a little too appropriate for me lately! i mean, while i am indeed the luckiest girl in so, so many ways… right now i sit typing with one blue and purple swollen twisted zombie finger [lamest equestrian injury ever! my stubborn casey jerked his leadrope through my fingers in an effort to stay with his precious grass] next to a baby with an ice pack on her ankle injury [hopefully also just twisted? strained?], and i’m really hoping these are some of the very last items on my list of minor mishaps lately. it’s funny, because for as non-disaster prone as i am, i feel like life gets kind of crazy every single spring! seriously, it’s been that way for me since high school, so i like to just take it as a universal sign that it’s time for spring break. right?! right!
but really. life is good. and sunshine. sunshine is extra good.
…and ps. wouldn’t you just know that that *lucky* husband of mine is currently off at the masters golf tournament where there’s apparently a no phone rule, so i can’t call complaining that our refrigerator water isn’t working! not that i would eeever do that. 😉 oh, lucky, lucky husband!

M's lace top is something I would enjoy in an adult size. Hope the finger is getting better!

Oh no poor Maddo! And your finger of course. Hopefully the clover with those almost four leaves is a sign of things improving. How do you even get a toddler to rest their leg you know? Last spring letty broke her arm and the very same night was jumping all over a trampoline. My cuticles are only now recovering.
Fran says
oh no! hope you ladies recover from your injuries fast!
Britt Louise says

Haha, so many husbands went off the to masters this weekend, it's all I've been hearing about haha! Hopefully he can fix the water when he returns 🙂
