Flavored Water


When Scott and I stayed at Hawks Cay in Florida for our 20 year 
anniversary, we went to a spa.
When our massage and facial was done we relaxed in our robes and slippers, and sipped
this Blueberry and White tea antioxidant mixed with our water.
It was so good, we brought a bottle home.
It is delicious and adds a light taste to my ice water.

Sweeter Than Honey


You know what is Sweeter Than Honey? Nothing, in my opinion. 
I'm probably a little bias though...
"Sweeter Than Honey" is Honey's show name.  It took Acelia a long time to 
come up with it.  I think it fits both of them perfectly! 


Entering her dressage test...




They did very well and tied for third!
Not bad for their first show!


Honey LOVES to jump!




Acelia LOVES to jump!!


They did very well, and make a fabulous team...


Got Grass?

Islamorata Fishing



We took an entire day to go fishing for Tarpon


I can't even count the turtles, ray's, and sharks we saw!


Scott caught a Lemon Shark! 


Number 5 on the most dangerous!


The water was so beautiful and very shallow......


Here's Scott's 125lb Tarpon....


Took him 45 min to reel him in!


The captain released it and that Tarpon took off like lightning!

The Garden is Up!!


My asparagus is doing really well this spring! We are going to get three cuttings!


I planted 43 Everbearing strawberries this year! 


If the chickens continue to sneak in here, we are going to have a
'go a round'!!


Future raised beds!  Going to be planted this week!


5 different kinds of lettuce are up!


My 'fun' thing this year....cantaloupe!


Current Projects


This is our new fireplace!  I can't wait till it's done.
It just needs the top put on and then.....
bring on the marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers!!

Aleta and Delta


One of the things we did on our trip was swim with dolphins! We chose the
in Marathon Key.  It was a great experience!!


Meet Aleta (in back) and her 1 year old son Delta!


Cute face!


Giving Scott a fin ride!





So much fun!




Delta is still learning to give kisses, and this is as far as he will go right now....

Asparagus from the garden!!


I am so excited this is the first year I have harvested asparagus from
our very own garden!

Farm going on's...


Ok project numero uno is to fix the driveway!  DONE!
The horses will be pleased as punch!
It's quite a rough ride in a trailer, going over all those pot holes!


The ground work for the new barn is being done!  We are placing it close
to the house and the driveway.  We have too much snow to be trudging our way
to a barn! Plus, I love the smell of the barn and the horses.....


This magnificent eye sore is going going GONE!! 
Scott is having this ripped out (we are leaving the flag pole) and turned into
and outdoor patio with a brick oven fire place and some patio furniture!

I always let this grow up because I am afraid of snakes.  I just feel like they are lurking
in those weeds and rocks waiting to give me a heart attack!


This is Zip and Honey's new paddock for the time being!  
It's new and it's dry.....
and they love being next to Miss Fancy!
