I’ve read it more times than I can count. And the movie is still my all-time favorite. The last remaining cast member is Olivia de Havilland who played…

It’s Dairy Month! Don’t have cookies without a glass of cold milk! Yum!

I took this photo at the end of May. Miss Tess – that’s my horse – is so happy to have fresh green grass instead of winter hay. Yum! Yum! It’s back to grazing all day with tail swishing, ears twitching, feet stomping away various insects, feeling the delicious warmth on her back, the cool…
