Sunshine Saturday

Today's run was BEAUTIFUL!  What a great day in God's country.  I got out of the house about 7:30 and was loving the sunshine and the slight breeze.  This horse I ran into about 4 miles in the run and he ran along the fence with me for awhile so I stopped to pet him and get his picture. What a beautiful horse!  I think he was lonesome there were no other horses around.

I run along some gorgeous creek bottom for a couple of miles and was loving the green so much I had to stop again and snap some more pictures.


Some more of the awesome creek bottom.  I kind of wanted to just stop and sit on that log and meditate or something for awhile it just looked so peaceful and relaxing, but I kept running!
On a clear day I can see the Beartooth Mountains from my house.  They still have a lot of snow on them for this time of year.   I can even see the ski runs, but they don't show up well in this picture.  I live about 90 minutes from theses mountains.


I ran 13 miles then hopped my sweaty self in the car and picked up my sis so we could pick up our Bountiful Baskets food, which if you live in the western states you should check it out. They just started up in Montana recently and I have been loving it.  After a quick Costco trip I headed to my Mom's to get my daughter, dropped my my groceries, dropped off sis and her groceries then headed over to my Aunt's to pick up my son. WHEW!

Little Bitty had to run to my Aunt's house from the lane. I know I recently posted a running picture of the kids, but seriously checkout her purple glitter tutu skirt.  She is so in love with it right now.

OMG could this little cowboy be any CUTER?  He makes me heart melt 10x more when he is all decked out in his cowboy gear.  He was getting riding lessons from my wonderful Aunt Linda today.


Here is the little miss in her purple tutu getting a quick ride on Strawberry also. She is very determined to be riding too since everyone else seems to be and she considers herself one of the big kids.

Had a great run today, mostly took it pretty easy and finished in 1:55.  I was hoping to do a 14 miler today but I had no time.  I had to be in to pick up my Bountiful basket at 10:15 and they don't wait if you are late!!  Now I am going to pick out a BodyRock workout to do and then mow the lawn!  I love warm weather, YAY for no rain! The kids are both napping after their very busy mornings so it is nice and quiet here.  Loving it!

  3. I really enjoyed your pictures. The kids are so cute and I just know that horse was happy for your company and your friendly pat. Horses are very social and I always think it is sad when I see them alone in field.

    Glad you had such a nice day.

  15. Awe!! Your son is darling! Something about little bitty cowboys! I love all your pictures! Montana looks so beautiful! Makes me miss the quiet, calm of the farm on Oklahoma. Pretty sure Montana is much more scenic though!
