Crab Creek, horse love, talking back to school




Sable

Our dear friend Marilyn has four horses. 

We have known Sky and Sunny for two years, maybe three. 

Scooby and Sable are new to her pasture and they bring an energy that is wonderful and a bit intimidating.

Scooby is at a trainer's for a bit. Sable is living with Sky and Sunny in Marilyn's pasture. Hazel chooses to admire and observe Sable before standing right next to her, brushing, or riding her. This picture captures my horse loving, cautious girl.

Life along Crab Creek


Vance found a house plan that he thinks will work well for our family and fit very well on our land. We really want to take full advantage of the view.

We have had some sad news over the past weeks. A Moses Lake girl, Willem's age, who has stage four cancer.... concerns about family members... We are reminded to pray. 

I am exercising more really needing that mental clarity. And the exercise does help me sleep better at night. 

Please pray with me that these kids will go back to school! Our district is hoping to offer three models - remote learning - part time - and close to full time. Families can choose what is best for them.

Hazel and Oren will most likely do part time, being home schooled the remaining days of the week and Willem and Merit will hope to do close to full time. All of these decisions and the great deal of planning really makes me appreciate our district! But it causes some stress and anxiety too. This is uncharted territory.

I do know one thing, kids need kids. Learning with peers, solving problems, and socializing is a big deal. 





 oh! I love his toothless grin!!!


The view we love. Our some day house will be on this bluff.
