  1. Wishing you the same.

    I have a neighbor (Chinese) who supplies me at least once a week with one or two delicious Japanese cucumbers. I am turning into a cucumber! Good thing I love them!

    Send your rain here, please!

  2. LOOK at those lashes! Very clever shot! And I have never had a japanese cucumber...must try. One of our favorite cool summer foods is cold cucumber soup. The kids LOVE it and it's fun to make together. I hope your weekend is wonderful, MJ!

  5. Those lashes! Great shot!

    Love lazy, rainy days. Happy Anniversary!

    But, the horse whisperer ... my goodness! I have such admiration for them. To not only have the ability to connect with a horse, but to have the desire to see into a horses soul. Too many lack both and think they can physically break a horse to follow their commands, and don't care if they're breaking a horse's soul in the process. Horse whisperers are truly special people. Thank you for sharing!

    Have a beautiful weekend, MJ!

  6. Oh my, those lashes! Gorgeous. I have seen the trailer about Buck. I used to have lessons off an old Aussie guy who was so similar is his work with horses. I only wish I could find someone similar for my horse crazy girl, Scarlett. They are very few and far between. Happy anniversary! Have a beautiful weekend. Jacinta

  12. Are you secretly applying Latisse to your kids eyelids while they sleep??? Those are some gorgeous lashes!
    Also, Japanese cucumbers are the best. English ones are a very close second. :)

  17. MJ, your first photo (SO beautiful) took my breath away. Then the horse whisperer guy made me cry. And the final photo gave me a sense of deep, contented, peace.

    So your pockets took me everywhere. All terrains, all sorts of emotions. What a gift that is. Thank you so, so much, my friend.

    (And I love to read the other comments here, and smile for how clearly you are giving these gifts to us all). :)
