Good Morning all my friends in Bloggy Land! Mommie said it was about time we shared a few adventures with you.
I was SO excited because one day when we were going to town we passed by this farm where they have some horsies! I've been asking and asking Daddy to please stop so I could see the horsies some time, and so on this particular day he pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "Okay, go see the horsies!" Thankfully Mommie had her camera that gets close ups a little better because the horsies didn't want to come any closer to the fence.
He was too busy eating his breakfast, and those white birdies were helping out!
I was so excited watching the horsie that I didn't even notice that I almost stuck my nose right into this barbed wire fence, and there was a spider right there on it!! Do you see it? And look, there's even a spider web all around it, and I didn't even notice! That was a close one!
But see? There are more horsies over there, and that is what I was looking at!
Finally we decided to go because the horsies weren't paying any attention to me. Mommie said next time maybe we should bring some apples for them, and maybe they will come to the fence. That would be fun!! I hope we can do that some time. Have you ever fed a horse some apples? Or maybe a carrot? Any suggestions?
Meanwhile, I wanted to get back home to my own pretty horse, Bella. She was happy to hear all about her big cousins in the field. But she said she is content right here with her new friends, Mr. Scarecrow, Mr. Jack o' Lantern, and Mr. Owl. They enjoy visiting with each other now and then, and Bella feels safe here at home.
Maybe Bella would like some of these different "treats"....celery and carrot sticks are good snacks...
Or maybe this dish of apple/raisin/walnut/celery salad:
That's a yummy fall food!
Or how about some Sloppy Joes? We had those Sunday night for supper. Mommie said that she remembers when she was a young girl that she used to go to church on Sunday night for her youth group meeting, "MYF" they called it.
And there was a dear lady who used to make a "snack supper" for the youth group every week, and often times it would be sloppy joes on buns, with maybe some potato chips or those potato sticks that came in a can like this:
Have you ever had Potato sticks from a can? I think I'd like to try some! Anyway, Mommie said those were happy memories of those days when they had their youth group meetings, and they would eat and sing songs, and then have a meeting where they planned special outings like retreats or going to camp or they would have a program that they planned themselves, with adults supervising. It was kind of like Sunday School, but the youth did all the work. Did you go to a youth group when you were young? I think I'd like to go too. Especially if they had sloppy joes and potato sticks to eat!
Speaking of other fall snacks....look at these little tiny pumpkins:
They sure are yummy! They don't taste at all like pumpkins! They taste like oranges!! They are kind of squishy and jelly like candy, and they sure are good. It's hard to eat just one!
Mommie said she already asked you if you like this Candy Corn stuff. She said some do and some don't. Mommie said she likes it best with peanuts mixed in. Have you tried that? I did, and it sure is good too. Wow, so many treats around this time of year...I might get fat!
Speaking of fat, there was a fat black cat sitting on our front porch one morning. Mommie tried to get a picture of it through the window, but all we got were these two green eyes looking at us!
That was kind of "spooky"!
Speaking of spooky, Mommie went to a Ladies' Meeting at church yesterday and didn't take me with her! I wish she had because look at all the fun stuff they had to eat! She said they had a "spooktacular" time:
Yikes, there were rats and spiders on the tables...and even gummy worms in the punch bowl!
And oh my goodness! What is THAT? That is a HAND coming out of the punch bowl!! Now I think I would have screamed if I saw that, so maybe it's better that I stayed home!
Mommie said this little person had to wait too long to eat! Ha Ha!
Whew! Safe back at home, Mommie had a cup of tea and her tea bag said, "Never quench your thirst for adventure!"
I think we've had enough adventure for one day, don't you? Here I am this morning singing with my friends. We are singing a song that Mommie taught me from church. Maybe you can sing along with us. I have my guitar ready to accompany us.
"Rise, and Shine, and Give God the Glory, Glory!
Rise, and Shine, and Give God the Glory, Glory!
Rise and shine and (clap!) give God the glory, glory!
Children of the Lord!"
"Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16
Okay, friends! That's all for today! I hope you let your light shine for Jesus today!!
