I asked my friend Ramie Edwards to come do a portrait session with me and my family.

And Ramie Delivered!

She got some fabulous ones of the Kiddos! 

Cowpoke-Corner-7

Of course my kids know how to pose for a camera!

CowpokeCorner-13

They’ve been my models all their lives!

It is a little harder with me. I belong behind the camera, not in front of it! And ol’ Booger wasn’t that thrilled about his modeling career either.

But Ramie got some great photos of me that I can use here and on Facebook.

She made it look so calm and peaceful and professional….

When I am an Old Horsewoman

May 20, 2015

Erin-14-bw

When I am an old horsewoman

I shall wear turquoise and diamonds,

And a straw hat that doesn’t suit me

And I shall spend my social security on

white wine and carrots,

And sit in my alleyway of my barn

And listen to my horses breathe.


 I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night

And ride the old bay gelding,

Across the moonstruck meadow

If my old bones will allow

And when people come to call, I will smile and nod

As I walk past the gardens to the barn

and show instead the flowers growing

inside stalls fresh-lined with straw.


I will shovel and sweat and wear hay in my hair

as if it were a jewel

And I will be an embarrassment to all

Who will not yet have found the peace in being free

to have a horse as a best friend

A friend who waits at midnight hour

With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes

For the kind of woman I will be

When I am old.

We brought him out to the alfalfa field for a quick photo shoot...

Then we took the wings off...

And he went even faster!

Until he ran into the irrigation ditch. 

Then the photo shoot was over.

Mooothers-Day 0788

By the way happy mother’s day. Only a little late!

Thanks for joining me here at the barnyard! We are having so many babies these days! It is so fun. I will try to get you all caught up on pictures. 

I will have miniature austrailian shepherd puppies and my last litter of poodle puppies available in about 3 weeks.

One last darling Dalmatian is still available!
