Tuesday Talk

It's a lovely day here in Maine. The sun is shining, the humidity is dropping and it's not too hot! I am one of those people that prefers cold weather over hot. Most think I am nuts but it is how I am most comfortable. Dad and I went for our walk through the neighborhood today instead of the carriage trails as it's a bit buggy out there first thing in the morning. I spray the horses every morning now as they hate the flies. Black fly season should be over pretty soon which is always cause for celebration. :o)

D spent the day with me yesterday as DIL was on her way home from Boston. T was still at school, it was their last day! Yippee! I remember how those summer vacations seemed so long when I was a kid. The lazy days of summer. How we enjoyed them! Growing up even further out in the country then where we live now was just a delight. Having horses and ponies to ride every day with friends was glorious! The summer seemed to stretch on forever and now it seems to go by in such a flash it's unbelievable. They say time goes faster the older you get......sigh......

Anywho, I digress...... D and I had such a good time. We hung around here until late morning and then headed over to Play Place at Micky D's. I forgot my camera which didn't make me very happy......grrrrrrr...... D's favorite thing to do there is to play air hockey. He's actually very good at it and soundly beat me two games in a row in which he found endless delight!! He couldn't wait to tell his Mom when she got home. I think I am going to have to go searching online for an air hockey table for the playroom. Think I will check out Craigslist.

Well it's Wednesday already and I still haven't finished this. Summertime is much busier here on the hobby farm. Horses to tend to, lots of mowing to do, flower beds to weed and water, riding every day and all the other warm weather things that go on.

Yesterday I took T to her riding lesson. She was absolutely THRILLED when she arrived and was given one of the full size horses to ride instead of old faithful Divet, the pony. He was having some R & R out in the lush green pasture, much happier then in the ring working.

Is there something about having ones tongue out that helps with ones riding? This is a good question for all of my horsey type friends out there in Bloggityville! :o)


The flowers are starting to fill out and are soooooo pretty. I took a couple of shots of DIL's garden when I dropped T off after her lesson.

This morning I took some shots of the things that are in bloom here in my gardens.
