I miss getting up in the morning, taking a salt container and a couple cans of oranges. And being on my pony with my dog all day long. We didn't come home till dusk. I sometimes took a book too. I'd ride to other places then climb a tree while my dog chased scents and my horse chewed grass and I read a book up in the tree.

When I got a bit older we spent the summers up north at the cabin. I'd be out on the lake all day in the canoe with my dog. We spent a lot of time on the other side of the bay where there was an abandoned old house.
