Morning Chores.


I woke up this morning with a smile on my face. As I headed out to do my morning chores, I noticed how beautiful the moment was. I ran back in and grabbed my camera so I could bring you along.


Meet Sara and her daughter, Princess. Sara is old for a horse...over 25. She seems to have a quiet wisdom about her.


Princess and Sara are best friends...they never fight, and I know they share all their secrets with each other.

I cherish this time with my folks. Coffee on the porch every morning.


The 9 pet donkeys remind me to stop and take a minute to smell the hay...



to notice the beauty around me...

to laugh...


to listen to the music of the early morning...


and to remember how lucky I am to be here.


Man those donkeys are smart!

Thanks for helping me with my chores!
Peace,
Ki

    Wow am I jealous! I love morning coffee on the porch, still to cold in Minnesota for that. I will be heading to the Kalahari in WI Dells for a 4 days for spring break, maybe it'll be a little warmer over there. ;) Glad to see you're having so much fun!! Isn't great to spend time with parents? Krista

    Those "chores" don't seem like work at all presented that way! Thanks for sharing your morning.

    Happy Sunday mornin' Ki. Love your morning chore shots...know what you mean about coffee on the porch. I'm out there most mornings, watching the ducks on the lake, and sometimes the sand hill cranes. It's my little peace of the morning that helps me start my day. Enjoy! *elaine*

    Thanks for letting me tag along. Aren't the simple things in life the most beautiful? I love your animals. My parents still raise cattle and there is something so peaceful about watching them. . . .and they are smart too!
