Welcome to Fern Valley

Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .

Resolutions

In this new year
I do resolve
to take the problems
I cannot solve
and look them over quietly
and see if they truly
belong to me

if they do ,I'll take a shot
and really give it all I have got
to sort it out
and get it right
but I'll loose no more sleep at night
over issues I truly cannot fix
within my little bag of tricks

I will still give,and help
where I can
But finally I understand
the best help that I can be
is to learn to
take care of me

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Stay Safe , stay warm
