This week's assignment: Starts with S, Favorite, and Silhouette.
Starts with S: This garden SPIDER was busy SCOPING out a place to build its web. They look SCARY, but they're good SPIDERS.
Favorite: This is Hubby SADDLED up and ready to ride. 
Silhouette: This is a picture of Jube taken last SUMMER, before he was SOLD. The SUN is behind him, thus I decided this was close enough to being a SILHOUETTE. 
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

This week's assignment: Starts with R, Favorite, and Roof.
Starts with R: RAIN starts with R. These poor horses are soaked. I'm not sure why they are standing in front of the house when their loafing shed is a mere 30 yards in front of them. Guess they wanted me to know they were miserable.
Favorite: This is Whiskey, who was sold last year. He was RUNNING down toward the feed truck.
Roof: I took this picture from my seat at Oaklawn Racetrack. Off in the distance is the Hot Springs Mountain Tower.
We rode up to the top of the tower. Below are the ROOFS of several buildings along the main street.

This week's assignment: Starts with Q, Favorite, and Quarter.
Starts with Q: Northern Bobwhite QUAIL fits the bill. Mr. and Mrs. were walking down the road, so snapped a shot through the windshield.
Favorite: Guess what? Even though it wasn't an easy task, I found a way to put a horse in a Q post. :) Note the QUIRT laying across the jockey's lap.

This week's assignment: Starts with P, Favorite, and Paper.
Starts with P: Pretty in PINK. On one of our backroad rambles, I found this beauty in an overgrown fence row. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but it sure was beautiful all decked out in blooms.
Favorite: Meet PATRON. He is not only a handsome fella, but a real sweetheart.
Paper: This is one of the many books I have read over my lifetime. It's pages are made of PAPER! The bookmark is a souvenir Granddaughter brought me from Europe. And, lucky me, it also has PINK roses. :).JPG)

One of my favorite things to do on a beautiful spring day, is to take a drive down the backroads. On this particular day, I was on the lookout for blooms. I don't know what kind of trees/bushes/flowers these are, but I found each of them worthy of a picture. 
Daffodils blowing in the wind.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead!
This week's assignment: Starts with O, Favorite, and Old.
Starts with O: This OVEN is located on the grounds of Fort Washita. It was built far away from the buildings to keep from heating the kitchen during the hot OKLAHOMA summers.
What was very OLD is partially new again.
Favorite: Well, ya'll knew a horse would be in this post somewhere. This picture was taken during a recent visit to Oaklawn racetrack in Hot Springs, AR. This horse was a winner.
Old: This is a very old sign located at the exit to Ouachita National Forest. It is near Hot Springs, AR. Hubs took me to the lake where his grandfather proposed to his wife. It's a beautiful area.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

This week's assignment: Starts with M, Favorite, and Metal.
Starts with M: MALLARD starts with M. MEET MRS. MALLARD. 
Favorite: And, of course, MARE works out just fine for my favorite M. Love this little lady in the front. 
Metal: This METAL sculpture graces the main street in Hot Springs, AR. I think it was in front of an eclectic museum—ghosts and such. This is a drive by shooting. I took it from the passenger seat of Hub's truck, through the driver's side window, as we were driving down the street. Barely got it before it was too late.

This week's assignment: Starts with L, Favorite, and Landscape.
Starts with L: During our trip to Hot Springs, AR, it rained on Sunday, so we took a drive around the LAKE. Sure looked pretty with the mist in the background.

Landscape: Foothills of the Wichita Mountains in Southwestern Oklahoma.
Have a wonderful weekend!

This week's assignment: Starts with K, Favorite, Kind.
Starts with K: KITTY starts with K. This psychedelic KITTY graced the window of The Grass Shack Dispensary. No I wasn't visiting, merely parked in front of the store while waiting on Hubs to purchase lunch in the Whataburger next door. :)
These KITTIES are barn cats kept to keep the mice and rats to a minimum. They are not friendly. They run when I get too close.
Kind: So I bet you thought I skipped posting a horse this week. Nope. This little lady has KIND eyes and a KIND face. She is a sweetheart.
Have a wonderful weekend!

This weeks assignment is 'J': Starts with J, Favorite, and Jewel. However, I missed last week which was 'I': Starts with I, Favorite, and Insect. So, I'm doubling up—yet again!
Starts with I: ICE starts with I. This looks like snow-covered ground, but in reality it is a layer of freezing rain and sleet. Mr. White-throated Sparrow looks cold, while waiting for his turn at the feeders.
Starts with J: JOCKEY starts with J. Last weekend, we enjoyed a mini-vacation in Hot Springs, AR. Of course, we had to go to Oaklawn racetrack while we were there. This is my pick to win the first race. Winner! Winner!
Favorite I: Below you will see my pick taking the lead. Also, in the background, notice all the tents set up in the INFIELD. There were a few people braving the misty day to enjoy drinks, food and the band.
Favorite J: I wanted to post my favorite picture of JUBE (a horse, of course), but I posted him for 'H' week. Instead I chose to post a bird, which is my other favorite critter. This is an early morning shot of a dark-eyed JUNCO sitting on the fence.
Insect: On February 19, 2022, while enjoying a balmy day on the back porch, this lovely INSECT floated by. Needless to say, I was a little surprised to see a butterfly in mid-February—even in Oklahoma.
Jewell: This is a picture of a light fixture in my daughter's basement. Looks like JEWELS to me.

This week's assignment: Starts with H, Favorite, and Hat.
Start's with H: While enjoying the warm day on the back porch last weekend, I saw a Sulphur Butterfly floating by. This week, it's 19° with freezing rain and sleet. The birds have almost finished off a huge bag of bird seed. This HARRIS'S Sparrow is waiting his turn at the feeder. I took the picture through two layers of glass. I wasn't about to open the door and let the frigid air in. :)
Favorite: What did you expect for my favorite post for H week? A HORSE, of course. :) This is Jube, who has since been sold. He was a favorite of mine. Miss him.
Hat: This is my HAT. HUBBY had it made for me by his HATMAKER friend in Noble, OK. He has made HATS for such notables as Charlie Daniels (who ordered one for each of his band members every Christmas), both presidents Bush, and Steven Tyler, to name a few. It even has my name inside in gold letters.
