hello, handsome

We’ve been having some extraordinarily beautiful days around here.

It’s been so beautiful, I’ve been finding all sorts of reasons to spend as much time possible outside.

Like Poet. He’s just 3 years old and still a baby in so many ways.

But he’s looking so big lately. So mature.

We got him as a long yearling and he’s grown about 3″ since then. And put on a few hundred pounds.

I haven’t managed to capture any of his funny faces recently, but he still makes them. Regularly.

And still manages to be a wee bit spoiled.

What can I say, I’m just a grown-up-kid-who-always-dreamed-of-having-her-own-horse-and-now-she-does-and-pinches-herself-daily-because-of-it.

*sigh*

The love affair continues.

P.S. Linking up with my sweet friend Lisa over at The Long Road to China.
