**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We’ve been working hard on the farm…the outside weather still remains tolerable-ish….. But sunstroke…dehydration…are just around the corner once again….. General exposure to the sun in our sub-tropical hostile environment…(which we lovingly call a Florida’s Summer)…is almost here………….(Yippee!)….. But there’s always a lot that needs to be done….. We’ve gotten all the gate repair done…(plus I’ve got a good inventory of spare gates–for the big limbs that are just waiting to fall)….. We’ve…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s hard to tell one opossum from another opossum….. But I think this is a different one…because he (or she) was bigger…his fur was healthier and smoother…and there wasn’t a hitch in his get-along….. Regardless…the other night…I was called out of my bed and into action to protect my poultry…(yet again)….. There is definitely a repeat pattern here…it always at night…after everyone has gone to bed…and I’m always in my underwear or my…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Sometimes it’s just better to walk away from something….. Sometimes…(no matter how hard you try)…sometimes…somethings…refuse to be fixed….. There’s been a lot of things over years that I’ve walked away from….. There have been some things that I’ve just forgotten totally…(I can’t even remember how many…but I guess that’s the point of forgetting)….. Somethings are better forgotten….. My older daughter is still learning that fact of life….. She wants to fix anything that’s…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It seems like the Holidays were just the other day….. But suddenly…there’s a light green haze showing up on the tree branches…and the sun’s rays have changed angles and everything suddenly seems more Spring-like….. What has really started to make the approach of Spring more obvious here is the uptick of egg production….. All the hens are beginning to lay with more regularity….. We’ve had the good fortune of having eggs all year…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** As I’m posting this….. My fully armed chili is being distributed and dispensed….to unsuspecting riders….. They are partaking in my sumptuously prepared dish of multiple bean chili…(and sausage)….. Tomorrow is our last Fox Hunt of this Season…and we look forward to next year….. And after the riders have trailered their mounts home….. …..bathed their Hunt horses…showered themselves…and otherwise readied themselves for our annual Hunt Club Ball (this evening)….. Their gastric appliances have been…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** The mark of a good (self-professed) writer is one who picks timely…interesting…appropriate blog posts….. I’m none of those things….. And this post probably illustrates that completely….. The up-coming fart innuendoes are both immature and inappropriate….. …..(but really funny if you think about it)….. And I figured…because I’m only writing this post to my friend Pascal…it’s only a musing between him and me…so it doesn’t matter….. *****(Remind Me?  Who’s Pascal?)***** Pascal is not to…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* ~~~”Be still my beating heart”~~~ My Jim Beam pilgrimage continues….. I did go into my local Winn Dixie liquor store…and had a confabulation with the regular cashier….. She noticed my distraught comportment…(and yes–comportment)….. My stare was middle-distanced and unfocused…I had a knuckle dragging posture…and slumped carriage….. In a nutshell…I was sadness and depression personified….. I started my questions as soon as I put my regular purchases on the counter by the cash register……..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** There are just a couple more Hunts in this year’s Hunt Season….. Then there’s the All Florida Meet…(which is open to members of other Hunts)….. And then there’s the Hunt Club Ball…and then that’s it for this Season of Fox Hunting….. From what I understand…several foxes were actually viewed this Season…but still the vast majority of the chases were the ever abundant coyotes….. Those guys are so fast…it’s good aerobic training for the…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* The other day I saw my older daughter contemplating what I thought was the corner post of the paddock….. My first thoughts were….. Oh dear………….she’s having a bad day….. …..something has gone wrong….. …..or maybe…something died….. I need to be supportive and approach this situation very carefully…and quietly….. …..but not too quietly…because I don’t want to startle her….. Maybe I should leave her alone………….(I’ll set the oven timer–and go back out and bring…

The Winter months are time for cold weather sports…but what kind of Sports?….. You are only limited by your imagination….. *****(Skijoring–Explained)***** I should check back in my past posts…I’m fairly sure I wrote about the winter donkey escapades of my youth….. *****(I Did Write About It Before–In A Post In 2017–“Bad Playgrounds #2”)***** My older…
