The Seasons are a Changing
Yesterday was a strange weather day. It started out cool. Then the sun came out around noon and it got darn warm. Then a wind came up around 3:00. A COLD wind! And then a COLD rain.

Yesterday I got both Murphy and Luke out for their first ride of the season. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos to prove that I worked with my horses so you’ll just have to take my word for it. I haven’t figured out yet how to take pictures of myself lunging or riding the horses. Maybe…
What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this. — Epictetus (55-135 AD) Greek Philosopher My sister T and her husband P came to visit me from California. They arrived Thursday evening. Java rode with me to the airport. I had to drive the…

I am sitting in my potting shed typing on my wireless keypad, which is synced up to my iPad, which is managing to pick up Wifi from the house. Isn’t that cool?! Did I mention that I’m sipping iced coffee and looking out at my chickens who have finally made it outside?! I am loving…

Your weather, sounds just like mine! We just went through a change, where it got really windy, than the rain started. It’s been pouring for hours! I shouldn’t complain, we haven’t had much rain in months! But I really hate the wet.
It is supposed to be pretty cold tonight, and my horse shoer is out early in the morning! Yikes! I just might be wearing my long underwear!
I love what you did with the pine cones! I love that smell!
Wind is always our first sign of winter. I hear that horses get freaked out by wind so I’m glad that you weren’t at the park when it hit!
Hi Mary…I photographed trees blowing in the wind too. A crazy day.
When will you close your pool? They are a lot of work when it gets to this time of the year. I am going to have to check out the blog you wrote about. No question…meeting people from around the world has been a great experience.
I’ll have to get some video of our winter wind storms. They *are* something!
We really need to skim our pond. It’s completely overgrown with moss. I keep threatening to put on waders and just slog my away across like SWAMP THING to pull it out.
Wow, those pine cones of yours are emence!
Yes, I love to cyber meet people too…it’s like the world get smaller.
