The Mystery of the Stump I went into my pasture and discovered that a stump has been ripped up and moved several feet. That stump has been here nearly as long as I've been here, as the tree fell over the first year I was here. I guess technically it's been here longer, sin[...]
I've really condensed the name of these now. It's better this way. My New Scheme I got on Berry the other day, but I got way too into my own head and got scared. A lot of this stemmed from feeling very insecure in my leg. I was thinking about how I could get a secure leg, and I had an i[...]
I have not been writing as much as I'd like. Sometimes life just gets in the way, and makes it really hard to sit down and write uninterrupted. I've been spending a lot of evenings doing farm work, which is my normal writing time. Then I come in to write something, but I am interrupted. Not by an a[...]
How's quarantine life? I'm glad you asked! It turns out I'm one of those people who was already living a life in quarantine. The only changes are that I'm not making plans for the weekend or going to the gym. I really miss the gym. It was part of my routine, and it made me feel good. Naturally, sin[...]
This isn't a current events blog, so I don't usually bring up current events. But with everything going on, I decided I will bring it up. COVID-19 It's scary out there. A virus which we still don't know much about is spreading like wildfire, and we can't contain it. This feels lik[...]
The Dressage Chronicles If you're in the mood for a light read about believable characters in the dressage world, you need to read this book. I got it several years ago, and have read it multiple times. I'm working on another rereading as something light before I figure out what I w[...]
Let's get one thing out of the way - I like Weekly Brief better than Weekly Round-Up. I thought Round-Up sounded good at first, but now it just reminds me of the weed killer. It'll be a "Brief" from here on out. Hopefully it won't continually make me think of underpants. We'll cross that bridge whe[...]
Almost Walking The little baby is so close to walking on her own! She now blitzes around with the help of a walker. She's so fast, it's hard to get a non-blurry photo of her. She can't stand on her own, so she'll crawl over to the walker, and get up on her knees to push it around. S[...]
Sometimes I have a busy week, and I get so much accomplished. I look back at what I've done with pride. Other weeks, I feel really busy, and then when I look back on what I've done, I can't really figure it out. I was definitely doing something... but what was it? Who knows. Maybe I'll figure it ou[...]
It's been a while since I did one of these! Thanks for having me. Glad to be back. Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune Whew, that's a mouthful! I did say it's hard for me to relax/read much anymore, but I still do when I can[...]
