Come Away With Me
June 4, 2009 at 9:59 am 16 comments
I though you might enjoy a horseback ride today so come away with me to the Idaho mountains… I hope you enjoy the tour.
Now who will I take?
Look for the “knob” on the mountain between the big guy’s hocks (back knees), that’s our destination today!
We need a strong fast mount.
Meet the horse my friends dubbed “Mountain Mare”…
Up, up, up the mountain we go.
This is the view part of the way up the mountain.
Here we are just before we “lost” our riding partners who were not interested in “boonie-bashing” as we call it. Hiking up deer trails without hesitation is how my mare got her nickname!
Now where is that big rocky knob?
Come on dogs!
I think we’re getting close
There it is!
Too bad horses can’t climb rocks, we won’t be standing up there today.
That’s okay, the view from here is awesome!
Ready for the long ride down?
The sun is getting high and I’m getting hungry!
Thanks for riding with Mountian Mare and I
were glad you came along!

We are truly blessed! I just sat in the garden this afternoon on a log listening to a Redbreasted Robin telling me to “get out” so he could snatch worms for his babies. I watched a red tailed hawk circling the grounds looking for mice or snakes and I even heard a woodpecker carving out a hole in a nearby tree! Wow, is right!!

How lovely! This post reminds me of our guest ranch expeditions to Montana and Alberta. Such a neat experience. I’m so glad you are enjoying this type of life on a regular basis, Jessie!

Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to reading your blog more. I homeschooled my son last year (sniff..I miss it). And I also look forward to perusing those yummy recipes of yours!

So beautiful! I really envy you Jessie!
We may move to Idaho someday to be closer to my family. Two of my adult daughters and two of my grandchildren live near Boise, while my brother and his family plus my 86-year-old aunt live in Coeur D’Alene.

Thanks for the ride! I love horses, but don’t ride very much.
I love the mountains, but have never seen them in person (I live in Kansas).
These views are fantastic. Makes me want to get out my paints or colored pencils and paint something!

Thanks for coming with me!
Maybe someday you can visit and see, smell, hear my mountains.
