A Study in Trees
“The best time to plant a tree was always 20 years ago. The second best time is always today.”

Ah yes, drought… I survived February. But this papery-thinness is how it left me.
This is what I do when I can’t sleep. Moon in the clouds… kind of eerie. Turn off the flash! We’re trying to sleep here! That was last night. This is today, when I took Murphy out for a spin. I haven’t ridden him for quite awhile so I just rode in the arena, which…
As Java ran towards the horses, I told her to sit and stay. Look at that obedient dog… Should have snapped a photo 5 seconds later when she went running through the fence and chased them. But I’ll leave you with this angelic impression.
Well, let’s get the bad stuff out of the way. I spoke to the vet on Tuesday and Luke does have Recurrent Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, better known to horse owners as “Heaves”. It was one of those conversations where I lost it after the ROPD news and when the vet said something about some level that…
Thanks everyone for your comments on my post on Willow. One of my nieces read it and told me that she put her deceased dog’s tags on her keychain because he loved to ride with her everywhere she went. I wish Willow would have had dog tags because that’s a really good idea. And my…
I was trying to get the kitchen painted this morning, but Java was not cooperating. Her whining was getting on my nerves so I finished taping around the woodwork in the kitchen and decided to take a walk break

Holy cow! I wish trees grew that fast at out altitude.
Lori – That’s 7 years of tree growth. I haven’t really written anything lately. I’ve had too many other things come up lately. I’m going to my cousin’s for Thanksgiving.
GP – I envy those trees with strong roots.
Roxanne – I didn’t know altitude would make a difference with tree growth. I think our trees breathe in all those manure fumes and feed off them.
It’s probably more the lack of moisture and harsh winds that stunt their growth. But, things to grow very slowly here.
Those trees grew up fast! 🙂 Does it bother you that they block your view of the horses? I love the pictures from your walk, fall can be so lovely, even in it’s brownness and bleakness!
Roxanne – Well, that’s what’s kind of surprising is that it has been so dry here for the past four years I’ve been afraid the pines would die, but they must be a hardy lot.
PG – The blockage is a bit of a bummer as I can’t catch the horses and photograph them running around and mock fighting with each other.
