Since my last post in February, we took our annual trip to Mexico
Which was , as always a wonderful brief respite, fueling us to face the rest of Winter and the year.
Once I got home I hit the ground running with several trips around Alberta. I have taken on a new part of my job, as facilitator for MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID, Basic . This is a big jump out of my comfort zone, but a project I believe very strongly in. I have taught in Grand Prairie, Lac La Biche, St Paul, and Westlock so far, with no end in sight! In June I also trained as facilitator for the Seniors version of this program so busy busy!
In the midst of all of thisa , we had our usual winter/spring routine, calving, chores etc.
I also traveled to the MAne Event in Red Deer, instead of doing this alone, a group of fellow equine authors joined together to share and collaborate!
What a great time!
Got home for my birthday and was blessed to ave another collaborative effort made on my behalf with little Miss Birdie helping to make a birthday cake for me!
cake decorating is Exhaustipating!!
Then in June, on a very rainy cold morning
This little darling arrived! FV Windwalkers Treasure! A filly By Windwalkers Cactus , out of The Drama Queen.
No time to enjoy and watch her as almost immediately Lacey Colicked. It was a long cold afternoon with her in the barn and watching waiting and worrying, but she rallied and was fine the next day.
Which was the first day of training for my MHFA for seniors program. Tough start,but I got through.
I will leave it for here, and continue in the next post!
Stay safe my friends, I have missed you !

My goodness it has been so very long! Now I don't feel so bad. lol But, it is SO good to hear from you! Sounds like you're having no difficulty keeping yourself busy...do you ever long for quiet days?? Congrats on the beautiful foal...oh my gosh, I just LOVE that picture of momma looking at you and nuzzling her baby! She is so loving and proud of her precious one. Makes my heart sing!
Glad you made your annual escape and made it home safe and sound. We are leaving in December for our first ever Caribbean cruise and we're so excited. Can't wait!
It's so good to have you back blogging Sherry! I saw your comment on mine, and thought "HORRAYYYY!!" lol. Glad you have just been busy living the good life. I find it hard to pick up where I left off after being MIA, when so much has happened I've forgotten half of it. Highlights and onward. Congrats on the new facilitator work, it is desperately needed more now then ever.
You are one busy lady! The vacation looks wonderful, love all the pelicans in the fishing boat. And that photo of The Drama Queen and her baby has to go in your next calendar!
Beautiful filly and of course that Momma is pretty too! Welcome back to the blog world.
