1. One day old, the foal stands on long, wobbly legs. He wants to lie down, but he doesn't know what to do with those legs. After a few tentative attempts, he manages to fold them under himself and he plops down onto a bed of hay. He exhales a sigh of relief and closes his eyes to rest.
2. Dressing for mild weather is a wonderfully simplistic affair. Capris, shoes with no socks, and a nice loose blouse and voila!
3. Daughter #4's male classmates are begging her to bring cookies to school again. Teasing, I tell her, "You know, they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." As she gives me a condescending look, I hear Daughter #3's boyfriend chuckle as though this is a revelation.
I remember making sure I fixed my boyfriend a nice dinner of baked spaghetti just before I thought he would propose. I was hoping to seal the deal. I guess it worked, since I married him.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies must have been good!

Oh, I'd love to see a picture of that little foal! How precious.
