oohhohohohhhh...
jumping for joy that
hurricane Irene pretty
much missed us!

:-)

this morning
i was part of the turtle washback rescue program here
but
fortunately there
was little to do
as
the Saragossa Sea
was not disturbed too much
by the passing storm system...

yipeee! for that...

can barely tear myself away
from the weather channel...

my friends in new york city
are incredulous...

enjoy
the rest of the week-end, missy!

{{ lovely, graceful jumpers:
girl & horse!
i would B proud...}}

BEAUTIFUL FACILITY...FOR HORSES AND HUMANS.

We're dealing with the same high temps and no moisture (I think Irene sucked it all out!) Heading to the soccer fields to watch my son coach his team. (Love when the kids grow up and give back!) He's working with a U17 premier league girls' team. It's a hoot to watch the girls with Drew...that handsome (and married) devil...

What a gorgeous horse barn. I'll bet you feel so blue blood walking through there! Well, we missed the hurricane this time here in Texas. Hope everyone in it's path is safe.

Few places I love more than a horse-filled barn. Especially a Ralph Lauren one like this.
Sigh.

I wish there was a way to put WOW in a 72-point font in the comments! I was thinking "you could eat off those floors!" and then scrolled down and saw that you had the same thought. I am so insanely jealous of that place. Wow, wow, wow. Good luck to your daughter, I hope she does fantastic! :D

hola, love the caballos! and that money shot sure was pretty. Here on the west coast, we have a teeny earthquake but we have those all the time, so no biggy and then B the wafers and I went on a walk to Fisherman's wharf on sunday. pretty peaceful here, hope everyone on the east is ok.

wow, beautiful upscale horse farm there!

we had dinner beachside on friday night, laughing at all the news trucks trying to make a story, while teens exhausted themselves doing headstands on skimboards for attention. never did catch news to see if they made their 15 seconds of fame!!! the rest of weekend was spent in water, at flagler beach and at silver glen springs.

your daughter is a beauty btw!!!

Sush said...

Ahhh a girl and her horse! Legends have been written...

While the wind was blowing we had birthday parties for two grandchildren...nothing gets in the way of a birthday. We just call 'em Hurricane Parties!

Hugs~

Your photos are wonderful. This is my first visit to yourblog, so I've taken some time to browse through your earlier entries. I'm so glad I did that. You've created a beautiful spot for your readers to visit and I really enjoyed the time I spent here. I'll be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Karen @ Mignardise said...

Leah Moss said...

ok, first off, you're daughter is beautiful. That shot of her jumping is gorgeous!

AND that barn! I would definitely look into a house swap with one of those ponies :)

Melissa said...

So how did she do?!

Town and Country Gals said...

Just found your blog and love it! That barn is fabulous!! There is nothing better then walking into a barn and inhaling the sweet mixture of hay, leather and horse and heaing that wonderful sound of hooves clopping on the brick floor! I miss it a lot! Your daughter is adorable and the shots of her jumping gorgeous! I am your newest followe and will be back often@

Wowsers.....those horses live better than some people! Love that barn.....good thoughts for your daughter on her event!

Nothing happened here in GA....I was in the mountains of NC during Irene.

Melissah from Coastal Style said...

Yes I have to agree that barn is stunning and that floor looks cleaner than my kitchen floor!

What a gorgeous, gorgeous barn, and child 4 looks fabulous. Makes me miss my days with horses....
We jumped over waves here - 12 footers. The surf has been insane. I am still too sick to do much, but I watched from my chair, snuggled into a blanket as my boys braved the surf, showed off, and showed some healthy fear. Crazy, crazy, scary waves.
Happy coming of Autumn dear one!
