**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This year’s Fox Hunting Season is in full swing….. Mary Constance just sent me the GPS mapping of the hounds at last Saturday’s Hunt….. It was at a ranch just south of us…and apparently they covered 15.5 miles….. Geez! Louise!………….that was a long Hunt….. But a good Hunt horse can do it…at least the weather was a little cooler…not cold…but cooler….. Mary Constance said the first half of the Hunt was a blank……..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** The weather is so inhospitable right now…going outside is something to avoid….. I’m looking at photos of my hearty friends venturing out on trail rides with their horses….. I have to admire them…I have to admire their mounts…I’m hoping they’re out on the trails when it’s still quasi-cool in the early mornings…(but it’s never cool)….. Claire and Anja and Brave would faint if they were asked to exercise right now….. …..they are so…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Perfect timing never occurs….. Making the best of things…is usually the best we can do….. …..(along with always looking for and counting any blessings we can possibly find)…..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This last Saturday our Fox Hunt Club had a Hunt at one of my favorite fixtures….. *****Croom State Forest***** It’s a wild place…with lots of trees (well…it is a forest after all)…and meadows…and railroad tracks bordering on one end of the tract of land….. …..with a narrow ingress & egress to the parking area…made up of a sugar-sand/one-lane road….. …..(if you remember a few years ago…that was where there was a fast/cold storm…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I guess I’ve been in denial….. …..or maybe it’s more of a visualization of what I intend as my reality….. I was hoping I’d be riding by now….. …..but I’m not…(sigh)….. Why?…because of a condition called Refractory Blood Pressure and what looks like an on-going irregular heart beat…(premature ventricular & arterial contractions)….. But…yippee…it does seem that the atrial fibrillations are gone now (woot woot!)….. It took a while…the ablation for the A-fib (see…I’m…
