A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

An exciting beginning!

It has been a very long time since I last posted on my blog, and that is simply because so many things have been changing.  I was away from my horses for 2 months because I moved to Dallas TX for a job opportunity.  Well, this last weekend, they finally arrived!!
We took them first to a little "barn" that I found on craigslist, thinking it would be sufficient for them, but when we got there, we quickly realized it would not do... at all.  There were two emaciated horses there, and they were both sick, caughing, with snot and goopy eyes.  I immediately worried about my own boys, and wormed them right away.  I also put them in the paddock and insturcted everyone not to touch them.  So sad to see someone else's horses so sick and starving, and there is nothing I can do.  I am half tempted to just go get some penicilin and give them a dose...

So I found a better barn and we are moving them today.  They will each have a cozy stall and turn out.  And as soon as we leave the first place, I will probably call the SPCA and turn in the owner of the poor horses that are starving.  It makes me so angry!  I want so badly to go in there and march out of there with both of them so I can fix them up and give them a chance at life... but I could never afford it.  How can God allow his creatures to do this to innocent animals?  Some humans are so cruel.  It's a lesson I will never fully understand.
