A Dog Named Saturday
Coffee Clutch got its name from the blog posts I wrote for years from the barn sitting enjoying my morning coffee with my mare, dogs, kitties and chickens. Folks really enjoyed them. Coffee Clutch is more than a newsletter. It’s a visit, it’s information, it’s fun, it’s musings, barn talk, writing talk, bird talk, horse talk and faith thoughts. And of course, it’s all the news about A DOG NAMED SATURDAY, old new and coming soon.
I’ll share some of my works in progress, upcoming publications, and more. Folks enjoy “The Old Man on the Porch, and Grandpop too, so they’ll be dropping in.
Sign up to join the ride! ~ Gitty up, Dutch.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NATION FORGETS GOD
HAS AMERICA FORGOTTEN GOD Howdy Friends! America, and its institutional apostasy, has forgotten the God Who made it the nation that it is – or was. What Americans, and all those that forget God, have failed to understand – is that to forget God is a death sentence....
HUSBANDRY FOR A SOUND BAREFOOT HORSE
HUSBANDRY FOR A SOUND BAREFOOT HORSE Howdy Friends! And I replied: Sorry for your boy's troubles. Giving advice on something this severe from afar is most difficult. Having said that I'll share some thoughts. Hoof issues are a result of many aspects of animal...
PROPPING UP HIS LEANING SIDE
Howdy Friends! “Propping up his leaning side.” A pastor of a small church would occasionally call on a gentleman to pray, and every time this one particular fellow would pray, he would end with this statement, “And, oh Lord, prop us up on our leaning side.” Finally,...
A TWO ACT PLAY
Howdy Friends! A two act play staring juncos, chickens, squirrels and Fluffernutter. He was darker than most, that proud junco. He sat on a twisted branch just a few feet above the hustle and bustle that is the morning gathering of chickens fussing about their...
WHAT’S IN A HORSE’S FOOT?
Howdy Friends! What’s in a horse’s foot? Sensory perception, horses can see with their feet. Balance, for horses find their balance with all their feet can see. Traction, for the horse’s foot is perfectly designed to grip the ground, hard, soft, rocky, grassy, sandy...
IDLE TIME EQUINE POSTURE PROBLEMS
Howdy Friends! Miss Rosie has that kind of body, that falls into poor posture and body carriage quickly when idle. Even though her habitat is one of free roaming, in and out as she pleases, room to wander. Like most horses, and people, mostly she will do not much....
SUNNY DAYS and SATURDAY TOO
Howdy Friends! And then Saturday said, "Today the sun is being the sun again. Which is almost always a more sunny day than when the sun is being clouds, or when the sun is being rain. I think that is how it is, most of the time. And since the sun is being the sun...
IS YOUR HORSE CONTENT?
Howdy Friends, Is your horse content? Just as we do, our horses have emotions, and thoughts of the day about their job and what is important to them. I've written before about horses and their emotions HERE , and I understand how folks have a wide range of where they...
GRANDPOP’S NEW YEAR’S DAY RIDE
Grandpop's New Year's Day Ride Howdy Folks, We didn't ride every New Years day lately. Grandpop had a year every now and then, in recent years, when he just wasn't up to it. And I worried since he'd retired ol' Blue a few years back his heart wasn't in it so deeply...
WHEN A NATION FORGETS GOD
Howdy Friends! And I replied: God is even kind to the unthankful and to the evil. He rains upon the just and the unjust. The general mercy of God in His long-suffering should be enough to cause men to cry out in humble thanksgiving and praise for the time God has...
