Mark and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary today (October 12)!! Happy Anniversary to us!!

So the big visit up to the Northeast is not happening now. I really wanted to get to Fair Hill this year but after weighing all the options and then finding out I have to be up there for work stuff in mid-November it seemed kind of silly to go both times.  I was driving … Continue reading Change of Plans, Oops

For most of the day. That was fun, not. Why you ask? Because I have no bars … Continue reading Curses: Foiled Again!

Horses are fickle creatures. Remus loves Tate. But he also hates Tate. And there are scars to show it. We extended the fence yesterday so they have a bit more space and a bit more grass. I went out to check this morning since the optical illusion of the fence made it look like Remus … Continue reading My Horse Is A Shark: Jaws Has Nothing On Remus

Horses are pigs. There I said it. Tate waits to come into a clean stall to pee and poops more … Continue reading Why Pay for A Spa Day? Remus and Tate Do Their Own Mud Bath

We are really still loving all the wildlife we see here. The hawk above we saw several times this weekend. He is a different hawk than the one  I saw on my fence a few weeks ago. SO MUCH WILDLIFE :). We also have something that is knocking my bird feeders down again (after a … Continue reading Mud, Muck, & Monsoon: Tennessee Weather All or Nothing!

First let's celebrate the fact today is Friday! Why you say? Because tomorrow is Saturday. Nuff said 🙂 Anyway the in-laws leave on Saturday to head back to the UK.
