Moment

Hi ! Happy Monday !!
I am sitting here looking over some moments I captured over the weekend.
I am pretty much scratching my head in awe.
Not because anything super-spectacular happened.
or maybe because it did.

This part of my story starts with a ride out to the farm.
We rode around to check on the herd, and also to see if we could spot a deer or two. 
It was a good way to end a beautiful Fall day.

The sun was going down, and it was casting a pretty golden glow on everything.
I threw on my hoodie, grabbed my camera... and hopped out of the truck.
I ventured out into the pasture in hopes of capturing one of those "moments" .
You know. 
There's always one.

I got caught up in the sun setting behind a tree.

Totally absorbed in the moment.

Capturing three million shots of the same tree...

the same sun...

the changing colors.

Then I hear some steady foot-steps coming up behind me.

Hubby maybe?

I turn.

It was about the same time I felt a warm breath down my back.

It was my cow.

Blondie.

Waters parted.

Mountains moved.

Yes. 

Utter joy ! :)

Because....

It. Was. Perfect.

Maybe because it has been a challenging couple of weeks.

Maybe because I intended to bring treats for Blondie, but forgot,

so I was disappointed in myself. With no food... there was little to no hope of her coming close.

Maybe because we parked away from the herd, and I couldn't spot my cow anyway. 

Maybe because I wanted something to be the way I wanted it. And it wasn't.

And.

Maybe because it was when I was totally surrendered to the moment,

enjoying the now...

that something so unexpected, unplanned, and sweet...

came and snorted down my back.

Because... 

when I needed it most. 

When I least expected it.

My moment came....

and it made me feel amazing.

XOXO
