I'm pretty sure it is in the bible somewhere. Let me know when you find it.
So there, you have it. Walking around Chincoteague Island, checking out places to pitch my tent, also catching a few peeks of the new ponies born this spring. In a few days, it will all start, as we welcome in another year of the Annual Pony Swim and this post is for #WednesdayWalk with @tattoodjay. Don't step on tradition.
We walk down the main street and everything there are all things pony. Books, signs, saddlery stores, and even trailers to haul your ponies. Oh, yes! For Ninety-three years, everything has been that way. Go back and read about traditions if you don't remember.
And don't forget to watch out for the Horses! And yes, sometimes they do get in the street or on the beach or places they don't belong. It happens.
And just like that this walk is done! So glad you could come along. Share your walk with us, we'd like to see what you got to see and where you chose to walk. I hope you had a fabulous time and I think we should meet up here again next week! Until then, keep on Steeming!!!
My little Henry was bought at auction a few years back. There are feral (wild) ponies that live on Federal Land on Assateague Island. They live off the land, so it is important that they cull the herd, to ensure they won't starve. So, every year, they have an auction and raise money for the Fire Department.
So the joy may touch your soul

Don't forget to come back for the Pony Swim, which will be next Wednesday !See you there!
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
