Monday Mosaic

Is it late enough on Sunday to be making Monday's post? The theme for today's mosaic is Pink & Gold. Lucky for me I've been sitting here all week trying to create the whole vintage look, which definitely lends itself to the look...or at least I'm hoping so, 'cuz it's all I got!

Some of the photos you're seeing in the mosaic can also be found in the new Mustang Diaries 2010 Calendar. Each calendar sold helps support the ongoing efforts here to get mustangs placed into homes, covering expenses from hay to farrier to whatever else is needed. Give the calendar as a gift and at the same time, give the gift of hay to a hungry mustang!

When Life Gives you Apples...

...Make Applesauce!

I swear I have never seen a bigger mess in all my life! I let Sandy out to nibble on some green grass while I was busy filling water tubs yesterday, but did he take even a moments notice? Nope. The boy went straight for the spoils which lay on the ground after the recent winds. And did he ever lay waste! Eat half an apple, grab a new one, take a bite, step on this one, reach for that one. He was like a kid in a candy shop, unable to stop himself, always thinking the next apple would taste better than the one in his mouth. Apple slime came drooling out of his lips (but of course, that was before I grabbed the camera!) and the ground was littered with half chewed, slobbery bits, like body parts after a bloody massacre.

After the waterering was complete, I led his plumpness back to his paddock. I swear he waddled. It's nothing short of amazing that he didn't get a tummy ache. The hens, to say the least, will be delighted to come out and gobble up the remains this morning.

Monday Mosaic

Maddening, I tell you!

I spent hours. No, really, seriously, truly.

Hours!

And there's no reason for it to have taken so long. I had the photos. I had an idea of what I wanted. I plunkered them all up onto my screen and began to work. But when I went to commit layers or save this or that...

Well, let's just say it was winter rather than autumn.
As in, the blasted thing froze.
And froze again.

And it is now nearly 1 am, hours past my bedtime.
But it's done.

I was going to do a pony one for Mustang U, but at this rate, I think it'll simpy have to wait until next week. I'm certainly not going to do it tonight. Or this morning, as the case happens to be.

I'd encourage those of you who are interested in Steve Holt! to read
the blog entry just south of this.

And now for the rest of the details, if you'd like to participate in Monday Mosaics, trot yourself right on over to Mary's place and sign up! It's great fun (when the blasted thing doesn't freeze on you!)

Okay, I'm off to bed before the sun rises and the critters begin crying for their breakfast.
