Looks like I'd get you off of my mind
But I can't, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world misty blue...
-Bob Montgomery
Misty Blue is one of my favorite old songs.. and it's always reminded me of Willow and my love for her...
And when I was a little girl, my Grandpa had a horse named Windy Blue... I think of my Grandpa every day, especially now that I have horses. I know he would have been so excited and proud that I'm somewhat of a country girl now and especially that I love horses just as he did.I have so many wonderful memories of our summers at Grandpa's ranch. He was an amazing man... I miss him so much. Sometimes I wish I could call him to ask him for his advice, and now that I have horses of my own, I wish I knew more about how he took care of his horses... his theories, his methods, etc.
Mostly though, I just wish I could call him to tell him about Willow, what I've learned from her, and all of the miracles she's sent to me.
And I wonder if he and Willow are up in Heaven together...
That's me on the left riding my favorite horse, Dan. My Grandpa with the sweet baby... and my Dad and little brother riding Windy Blue.
So in honor of my Grandpa and my love for Willow, my new mare's name will be Misty Blue...
