It’s not something that the beach-goers…or vacationers think of when they think of Florida either….. …..depending on the timing…it can be a good thing…or a really bad thing for the farmers….. Me…I just bob along with what Mother Nature throws our way…(except I get REALLY expletively-mouthy about her hurricanes  &  big…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** *****The Farmer’s Almanac***** I have several of my friends who are as life-experience comfortable as I am….. …..we try to get together for the Winter Solstice…(weather-willing)….. …..(my older daughter and I decided it’s better to call us “life-experience-comfortable” rather than saying we already have our deli-number in heaven’s waiting room)…(I’ll have 3/4 lb. of the smoked turkey and 1/4 lb. of the Swiss)….. But the Winter Solstice is a great excuse for a…

Maybe it’s because the clothes that you buy in Florida look like winter clothes, but aren’t actually warm like real northern winter…

The horse’s winter coats are coming in….. …..more than what’s necessary….. Draft horses (especially) get wooly and fuzzy and furry in the winter….. …..which is okay for the frigid North….. …..but really not so much in the tepid/luke-warm/chilliness of one of Florida’s sub-tropical winters….. Body clipping enables us to get in closer to the skin…..shovel out…

My younger daughter and her new horse Anja continue to bond. It’s great to see their relationship forming. I feel like Anja will learn to look out for my kid. She’s a gentle soul.

It’s winter here in sub-tropical Florida… Suzanne-Annette is a native Floridian… The temperature has dipped occasionally into the 40’s…
