Welcome to 2021

We made it through 2020. Kudos are in order.  Of course, 2021 starting isn't going to magically cause life to suddenly become normal again. It's still going to be strange times for a while. I have high hopes for the new year. I have a lot of goals, personal, financial, equestrian, and family,[...]

Family Time

It has been a busy few weeks. Grandma came up to stay and watch Bridgette, giving me time to get things done. We did some housework, I'm riding regularly, and we had family time! I ended up so busy, I didn't get to blog as much as I would have liked. Unfortunately I only get childcare sparingly, es[...]

National Sporting Library and Museum

Did you know there's a museum devoted to the sport and culture of equestrianism? Okay, so it does include other things, but there's a lot of horse going on here. It's called the National Sporting Library and Museum, and it's located in hunt country/horse country, Middleburg Virginia. They offer[...]

Cobbler Mountain Cider

We have a new hangout - we've spent many weekend days here, sipping on cider. We went after Gold Cup, we went after putting up fence posts, we went JUST because. Wineries are fun and all, but then I have to go through the tedious process of pretending like I know all about wine, and can detect the d[...]

Warrenton Old Jail Museum

I've been very interested in travel recently, but it made me start thinking - what about being a tourist in my own area? It seems pretty convenient since I'm already in the area. I decided to check out a local museum that I didn't even know was here, despite walking past it several times. [...]

Spring Gold Cup

Gold Cup was over a week ago. But it did happen, so here's the official report.  It was a very wet, very muddy day that basically passed in a blur. But a great day with bloggers Emma, D'Arcy, and Shelby!  We actually got Emma to come out! We were thrilled that we managed t[...]

ASSFS Blog Hop: Location, Location, Location

The lovely Sarah, from A Soft Spot for the Stars, is having the most wonderful bloghop, and I'm loving reading about people's locations. Here's mine! I live in Northern Virginia, in the general area of Middleburg. It's horse country here, but has the advantage/disadvantage of being close to DC. A[...]

Hiking in the Shenandoah

Before we go back in time, this weekend, I managed to have my car break down in DC. Ever the gracious wife, I agreed to a quick trip to DC to reset some computer equipment. I offered to just circle the block, but Dave insisted we just park. So I park, but then when I realized I parked illegally, I t[...]

Virginia Fall Gold Cup

In the midst of being super busy, I managed to get some horse fun in. Last Saturday was the fall edition of the Virginia Gold Cup. The Gold Cup is located at Great Meadow, which is also the location of this fabulous event. I did not check how many of the cross country jumps are still up, but someone[...]

Gentle Harvest Delayed Open Party

We drove into our little town on Saturday to drop our truck off to be fixed (finally, omg!). For a town that consists of one street, it was surprisingly active, and we soon discovered the source: A new market had (sort of) opened. But, this is not just any market. This market is owned by Ayrs[...]
