I Say It Best When I Say Nothing At All.....

I work from home and have an office with a view towards the valleys and mountains looking to the west of my home.  Several weeks ago, I was working and noticed one of my horses walking across the front lawn.  I stood up, walked over to the window and watched the remaining four walk through the opening in the fence and they began to graze just outside of my window.  Oh did they look happy!
