I just had a birthday and my sister gave me a
very special gift!  A true gift of love!

She raises Friesian horses, aren't they beautiful... 

Well, you may not believe what a special thing she did for me for my birthday.  As you can imagine, where there are horses, there is horse c*#p!  Lots of it...

Warned you there was graphic material. J

One thing my sister and I have in common, we love our gardens and we don't mind getting DIRTY!

Especially for special occasions like birthdays!

So my sweet, loving and kind sister headed out into the pasture and began collecting horse c*#p for me!

Lots and lots and lots of c*#p...

She then lovingly spread this c*#p out on several tarps so it could dry.  For days and days it lay out in the bright sunshine to dry.

But then, oh c*#p, it began to rain!

So she hurriedly gathered the ends of the tarps to cover the c*#p so it would not get wet!  Once the sun shone again, she lovingly and gingerly re-opened the tarps and spread out the c*#p so it could continue to dry under the rays of the bright warm sun.

Once the c*#p was completely dry, with her kind and loving hands and the help of a screen, she lovingly and gingerly broke up and sifted the c*#p in to a large trash can.  She then adorned the trash can lid with a beautiful green bow...

and on my birthday, she surprised me with a trash can full of freshly dried and sifted horse c*#p...YIPPEE!

She did this because she loves me...

She did this because both my sister and I LOVE our gardens and horse c*#p is good for the soil!

So, if you happen to wonder where I will be on Monday...

If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise...

I'll be out back adding some of this black gold horse c*#p to the soil around my flowers.

Like these...

and these...

You gotta love somebody to do this.

Thanks sista', I LOVE YOU too...and that ain't no c*#p!

So enjoy your sweet comments, they make my day! 

Blessings,

Cindy

Linking With:AMAZE ME MONDAY

YES, IT'S A BIG ONE!

Yes, it's my Birthday.

I was trying to forget this one, REALLY...I have been trying VERY HARD to forget this one!

But Mr. Heart, with his BIG sweet heart, wanted to do something special for me.

Something extra special for this MOST MONUMENTAL occasion!

And he pulled it off, with some help from family and friends, it was a BIG SURPRISE!

Tweety Bird has been my nick name since the day I was born.  This balloon is from my dad.  He said that when he entered the store he noticed the big Tweety Bird flying high and just had to get it for me! 

Yes, I was trying to forget this one, but it was such a sweet surprise and I will remember it forever!

I am married to the most amazingly kind and thoughtful man...thank you Sweetie, for making everyday special!  What a blessing you are!!!
