Summer time and me
The leaves are starting to change colour, and summer is coming closer to ending. It's been a busy one, for sure. Working pretty much full time, trying to keep up with the garden (anyone want some squash? I have a ton!) and play with my horses a bit. Full days. Good ones, though. It's been a much better summer weatherwise, not nearly so hot and ( Read more... ) -
Monthly Check In Time
Since I actually booted up the old laptop tonight instead of just playing on my phone (I watched the season finale of Orphan Black just now, OMFG, can't wait for next season), I figured I'd write a few words here. I'm still here, mostly keeping pretty quiet, but still here. Life is busy, time flies by, and all of a sudden it's the middle of ( Read more... ) -
Baby!
We have a new baby at the farm! A beautiful, healthy filly, born early Sunday morning. All went well. She was born at our Veterinarian's clinic, so it was much less stressful for us. We brought them home the next day, and we are thrilled,proud, and very grateful. We got just what we hoped for: a healthy beautiful girl, with added bonus of a sweet ( Read more... ) -
Gardening days and other things
I went to a gardener's version of a chocolate shop today to feast my eyes on the flowers and to pick up some plants for my friends at the farm. There is a border along the walkway in front of the house that needs some TLC, so I suggested we plant heather. After talking to the master gardener at the nursery, I went with lavender instead. I ( Read more... ) -

I spent a very hot afternoon putting in my veggie garden yesterday. I swear every year that I will be organized and that my garden will be neat and orderly and all will grow as I command. LOL! The truth is that my garden is less plan, and more freeform, put it in the ground and hope it grows..we shall see how that works. I give myself an E for ( Read more... ) -

One more sleep until I see Star Wars The Force Awakens, and it's safe to come back to the internet.
Did you know that the inspiration for The Force came from a short film made by a Canadian in 1964? It was a film called 21-87, and George Lucas saw it when he was a film student. Just a bit of Star Wars trivia to pass the time. -
Hello, it's me.
To quote the amazing Adele, hello. Popping up for the sort of monthly post, just to let everyone know I'm still here. Just not terribly active on line these days, because life is busy, and I have other things that are demanding my time. I have found it a bit depressing to read a lot of the stuff that is eating up the internet, so I've just ( Read more... ) -
Time passes by..
Months, it seems. Life happens, and occasionally I manage to get some of it written up here ( Read more... ) -
Phew.
It was a very busy weekend. We were at the big dressage show from Thursday until this afternoon, with our 5 year old mare, Seraphina. It was her second big show, and she was a star. It's definitely in her blood, because she just knows when it's time to put on her game face. We are so happy with what she did, we could just burst. She was doing ( Read more... )
