*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* I’ve officially given up on a roaring fire for the next few months….. …..or more….. It’s hard feeling in the mood for a roasty/toasty fire when it’s in the 90’s or above ….. Before cleaning out the ashes for the coming summer….. …..I was able to eke in a couple small morning fires recently this last week….. It actually got down to 58F degrees one night….. …..my rule is……..

The weather dropped from eighty degrees to thirty degrees in only twenty-four hours….. …..gotta love Florida….. …..apparently there was a frost….. …..I missed it…..(my feed guy told me)….. I am glad it’s finally cool enough to actually enjoy riding and not continually worrying that my horse is going to melt under me….. It seems like everyone has sprouted a winter coat overnight….. …..even Anja…..(again)….. …..who I have body-clipped once this fall already….. …..but she’s a Norwegian Wooly Mammoth Fjord Horse…

This is going to be a short post… I just wanted to share this with you… I’m a product of the sixties and seventies…..so of course…..I’m into incense… …..(but I don’t like patchouli…..which is one of those obligatory scents from my era)….. I just recently got this new/cool incense burner… I didn’t expect it to work for me like it did in the photos… But it did…..! (except for when the air conditioner turns on and the vents start blowing)…

Boxing Day

Prior to hanging around my own personal Brit husband………………I knew nothing of Boxing Day.  It wasn’t a named day in rural Ohio.   We’ve discovered over the years that even though we are both from English speaking countries, there are oceans (the Atlantic to be specific) of differences between us. There’s a world of differences in the traditions, the vocabulary, the expectations, a whole list of differences……………..and the food.  I love the food.  (But not the gray, boiled meat.)  Remember,…

  It’s time for Florida’s three days of cold.  I have seven cords of wood. I’m ready. I spent a day with the front-end-loader picking up and stacking firewood.  I’ve knocked off carpenter ants, red ants, worms, chameleons that aren’t chameleons (but I can’t remember what they are actually called).  I wore gloves and boots and the weather was cool-ish, so the likely-hood of highly interactive, poisonous snakes was on the low side.  But I kept my one-good-eye peeled for…
