HELLO ALL.
Here I am sitting in the doorway
 of our little camper
 wondering at
 the sight
that is before me.
IT IS A PONY!
WHOO HOO!


We are camping
at
Assateague National Seashore
which is in Maryland.

Mama and Papa
and I
and Merlie Boy
went to the seashore
and
HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.

IT WAS
50 degrees out.
WE HAD BLUE SKIES
 THE COLOR OF ROBIN'S EGGS.

WE SAW SEALS IN THE SURF
AND
SPENT HOURS AT THE CAMPSITE
WATCHING THE FIRE AT NIGHT.
I MEAN
HOURS.


THE SKY WAS SO FULL OF STARS
with
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM
TWINKLING
JUST LIKE
LITTLE STARS.


We
WALKED THE BEACH,
COLLECTED SEA SHELLS,
HORSE SHOE CRAB SHELLS
TALKED TO FOLKS
AND
JUST ENJOYED BEING TOGETHER.

HERE IS PAPA
CALLING TO US.
COME ON UP
AND
SEE THE VIEW!
YOU COULD SEE THE SEALS
PLAYING IN THE SURF.

My favorite story
from camping at Assateague?

On our second morning there
Mama is
FEEDING US HOUNDS.

THIS PONY,
THE SIZE OF SOCKS
OUR OLD COB PONY

came to visit
while Mama was getting her and Papa's breakfast.

I was in my little pen,
Merlin was out by the fire pit,
and Mama was in the camper,
for only a brief second.
When she looked up she saw this pony in the window
and this pony,
NOT A LITTLE GUY YOU CAN BE SURE,
had found our dog food bucket.
You know the kind?
Plastic with a screw top.
THIS BIG BOY
had the bucket
on the ground
AND
HE WAS POUNDING IT.


I MEAN SLAMMING
IT WITH HIS RIGHT HOOF.

KABANG, KABANG, KABANG.

I guess he thought that there was some food in it that
HE MIGHT LIKE TO
WOOF UP,
GOBBLE,
SLOBBER OVER.

WELL YOU GET THE DRIFT.


So Mama comes out and waves him away and
out he heads,
to join the herd of ponies at the next camp site.

So she then goes back into the camper.

 I AM LIKE,
NO MAMA,
NO,
DON'T LEAVE ME!
BARK BARK BARK BARK.


She comes running
right out.

OUR GUY IS BACK!

This time,
HE IS EATING THE REMAINS OF
Merlin's food.
A couple of tablespoons
was left on
the picnic table
in his dog food dish.
THAT PONY ?
HE
WOOFED IT UP


and knocked Merlin's dish
under the picnic table.

I guess he thought,
Hmmmmmmmm,
food,
a dinner dish,
my height
WHY NOT!

So Mama waved him away and removed
all of the
POSSIBLE PONY FOOD
at this time
because as she knew
PONIES CANNOT DIGEST
DOGGIE FOOD.

I am sure the pony
DID NOT AGREE!
BUT MAMA KNEW BEST.

ASSATEAGUE AT SUNSET
Papa went off with his camera to take pictures and comes running back. Without a word he grabs Mama's hand and pulls her to follow him to the top of this high dune. They spent the remains of the light, looking over the dunes, INTO THE WEST, and watched the sun go down. Mama said it was VERY SWEET.
