Seasonal victories











Spinning on the porch when the weather permits. I have been spinning up a storm I now have five skeins for my sweater I think I will need six, a victory of sorts for me- since I am finally spinning again.

The days are growing shorter less day light to enjoy here on the 48th parallel but with the aspen leaves ablaze it gives such a beautiful golden light even to a grey day in the valley. No victory here- just had to throw in a beautiful fall pictures.

I attended a really special event Rocky Mountain Frisian Horse chapter and FHANA hosted the 2015 Keurig of Frisians in the North West, we are a small group that are lucky enough to own a Frisian Horse(s)  approx 80 in Montana. 3 judges from Netherlands flew in for the event very exciting and educational to see how and what they look for in a Frisian they judge them as jewelers would do with Diamonds. Victory- so glad that Kalispell host such international events!

Lazy weekend afternoons by the river soaking up that Indian Summer sun and the lovely turning of the leaves, victory that I can get my youngest with us exploring the riverside and floating drift wood boats down the river.

The last of my flower garden-  my fall harvest brightens the kitchen- victory I can grow flowers!
Baking up a storm- it's that season...adding more recipes to my baking repertoire- victory.

My beloved Auggie doing so well with his team- finding that life isn't just victories, but when they happen oh, does it feel good. He's played so hard this season sometimes 3 games a week Coach has them icing in the Middle Fork river these late fall afternoons- they have to sit in the icy river for 20 min- in their shorts, some wearing their thick jackets and hats. Love that - mother nature healing their sore legs- that's Montana for you. 

...and Lilly are own skunk patrol pooch, only been sprayed in the face once this year... I guess you could call that a victory for her too.

Any little or big victories in your life lately?

  2. Looks like it's shaping up to be a good autumn for you! One of my photos was chosen for an Arizona Highways online album today and one a couple of weeks ago. I've also had a few Flickr Explores in the last couple of weeks. No cash, though :) But it's always fun to get a little recognition. Tonight I'm out to hear my husband's band and also tomorrow night they play at an art festival. Fall's the best time...

  6. I love your victories too! So wonderful (and gorgeous) : ) small victories this week include making progress on my son's quilt (I like quilts, I like the feeling that comes from knowing I made a quilt - I do NOT like the process of making quilts) and finally finishing 4 inches of some seriously tedious ribbing - thanks for asking!

  8. Your photos are so beautiful. I love the leaves and the yarn especially. I think my seasonal victory right now is being able to spend all day with the windows open because it's cooler outside finally. I know I didn't create that victory myself, it's the change of seasons, but it just feels so good. :)

  9. Oh wow, the colours of those leaves.

    Dealing with my chocolate addiction by going cold turkey and sticking it out, that's my victory.
