It’s a Charlie Brown Harvest
I had my first green pepper from my potted plant. My green and yellow pepper plants look pretty decent, although the yellow pepper plant is kinda short.

“Joy comes from adventure today. Time to shake the world.” That bit of wisdom came in a fortune cookie that accompanied my spring roll and chicken-veggie stir fry lunch-special yesterday. Could the adventure perhaps come this weekend instead? Because there were no work adventures or after-work adventures yesterday, unless you count my assisting with a…
Saturday morning, I went to my friend Sue’s, where she and other artists had set up their work for an art show. I wish I could show you photos of the cool stuff there but, alas, I sent my camera to Canon for repair right before I stopped at Sue’s. You’ll just have to check…
I’ve ridden Luke a couple times this week and will ride again tomorrow, all in preparation for riding in a dressage test clinic on Saturday. Neither Luke nor I are quite sure what I was thinking when I signed up for this. As you can see, Luke is a bit less than enthusiastic about the…
I’ve been on the go a lot lately and have some catching up to do. Wednesday evening I went out to dinner with a friend. It was nice to go out to eat and spend time visiting with her. We were going to hit some balls on the driving range after dinner but the range…
“We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” — Carlos Castaneda The weather we are having is so changeable – 90s last Friday and mid-70s today. Java and I went for a walk at the park last Saturday and it wasn’t as hot as Friday, but…
It was a gorgeous weekend — sunny and temps in the mid to upper 30s. The horses were looking longingly out into the pasture so I let them out for a romp and captured it on video. I had a heck of a time figuring out how to block out the video sound and add…

I like to ride in smaller groups. It makes me nervous when we have a lot of horse and riders for some reason. To many issues.
I love riding my mountain bike on my own. But, I do carry a Spot Messenger (you can look them up on the web). Spot tracks my movements using GPS and anyone with my password etc can look to see where I am. It also has a ‘help’ button to ask friends to come to a certain GPS location to help me if something goes wrong but it’s not a 911 emergency. Finally, it has a 911 button for if I get hurt and cannot get out of the woods on my own. If I push 911, the message goes straight to the police who come get me (at the GPS location that they receive with my message) with emergency equipment.
It might be something to consider if you’re using trails that are rarely visited by others. On busy trails, it’s probably not needed.
Dusty – I know what you mean. There’s a trail riding club that I joined last year intending to go riding with them, but the groups that go are huge. I don’t like being all on top of each other and worrying about one of the horses kicking or something.
KB – Thanks for the information. I haven’t been anywhere so remote that I would have needed it but I’m hoping to be more adventurous this fall or next summer so I’ll check it out.
Mary…nice post. I’m very impressed with your pepper plants. We don’t even have any showing yet. Huge tomatoes (green)…lots of zuchini, parsley etc. Look forward to making sauce. Thanks for all your comments.
we’re waiting for some fixings from our greenhouse as well
i trail ride solo with gazi and picken (with gazi’s it’s my profile in courage)! but i think it’s so good for your head, heart and soul and bonding with your equine partner.
off to ride tho with trainer patrick later ! He likes to cover country so i’m always a little nervous at the jump
gp
KB had a great idea there!
Hey buddy, could it be that those plants are suppoed to look like that? Hmmm? (probably not) But it does look like you are getting actual peppers!
Another gadget idea: something to mount the camera on your Luke’s head, with a cable attached so you can squeaze it…and Luke can take photos of you! See ya Saturday!
Lori – I’ve seen your garden and it’s produce. It looks much more productive than mine but I am glad the pepper plants seem to be coming through. Now if I can just keep from killing them.
GP – From what you write, I think your horses are more high spirited than mine. I agree that riding is good for your head, heart and soul and like the bonding/partnering piece. Hope you had a good ride with your trainer!
Lynn – Like the gadget idea. I’d be happy with a camera that didn’t have a blurry viewer and that wasn’t so slow to actually take the photo. Found one I like for $800. Like that’s going to happen…
