I'm not sure this entry will count as my 'daily' entry for today or not -- depends upon how I feel at the end of this day. Oh God, I'm up entirely too late -- it is doubtful that I will feel at all like getting up in the morning. This is not promising to be a good week for sleep -- I don't know how any self-respecting American citizen can even remotely consider sleeping this coming Tuesday night. I'm almost as excited about this election as I usually am this close to CHRISTMAS!

Back to the primary reason I'm writing anything at all right now...this is to introduce my newest blog header. I'm woefully behind in what I'd originally intended to be a regular change of blog headers featuring my art and photography...this is only my third change. Oh well, I'm woefully behind in everything else too. I thought it well past time to change, especially since it seems our hummer friends have abandoned us for the winter. I pray for the safe journey of our last baby hummer, who appeared only a couple of weeks before they departed -- I cannot imagine something so tiny venturing so far!

ANYway...the new pic is of one of my two WONDERFUL mares, Odessa. She is posed against the backdrop of her pasture, which this time last year, was thick woods. Odessa is 14 years old (I think) and is a retired Arabian show horse. She's spunky as a young filly and regal as a queen, with an attitude to match.

Now, I simply MUST get to sleep. God, I HATE Daylight Savings Time!!!!! Forgive any grammatical and spelling errors, whoever ventures here -- it is too late for spellcheck.
