Willow came over this afternoon to hang out with grandmama while her mom took care of the ponies ….she helped me prepare our covered dish for the CUMC Progressive Dinner and Christmas party

My grandma taught me and I helped my mom make this for every holiday - growing up in a German/Czech household there was ALWAYS saur kraut and kielbasa

Ready to slow cook tomorrow ….she even washed the dishes 😎

We lost one of the GREATEST EVER
RIP Rodney Jenkins ….if you do not know who this is or who he is riding (we miss you too Ike) and you ride ….need to do some homework

There will never be another like him

So proud of my daughter Emily …she works so hard and cares so much which seems to be a rare trait in her generation.

Emily volunteered to do chores at the farm so our farm manager could take a full two weeks off to spend with his family he has not seen in 4 years.

She took this picture this morning …getting up to do chores 4:30a so she can be home in time to still get Willow ready for school …

She then heads back to the barn to ride, teach lessons, help the vet and farrier and make sure the farm is perfect before heading home to be mom again at the end of the day.

I am really working on being positive as this year finishes out - as this farm buildout has been a long one - with lots of obstacles

BUT

She is one of the reasons I have been able to
Persevere …she gives me hope for the future and I am so blessed to be her mom

Love ❤️ you Em

So change is the only thing you can know for sure ….decided to take a 24 hour getaway to the keys and visit our favorite spots for a quick post thanksgiving trip

1) favorite dinner restaurant out of business …we miss you firefly!

2) favorite breakfast spot is out of business …we miss you croissants de France!

3) they tore down the spot next to Captain Tony’s …and it’s next ….the tiki bar did move but was closed …waah

So what did we do ….we tried ALL NEW things …and it was still amazing

Rest …is part of the formula …but so is letting go of the past and forging ahead into uncharted territory

We are ready for you 2025!

Happy 50th Birthday to our little 🛖 HUT home!

Built in 1974 from cypress trees milled on the property …the realtor said they could tear it down …

Holes in the roof
Floor rotted thru
Spiders, snakes, bears and bugs
An inoperable well
Bad plumbing

Sure…we can live here for a few months while waiting for the buildout to be done …

Well a six month temporary living space is now on its fourth year of “hut living”!

So thankful we transformed her ….and saved her …she will continue to evolve as the farm reaches its full potential…

NEVER give up ….just like the sears and roebuck AC unit that DID work until parts no longer existed …

This hut will always be a 🏡 HOME for us!

Happy Thanksgiving ….

Willow is such a lucky 🍀 little girl to grow up on a farm ….

Get outside - It’s glorious right now!

Perspective ….sometimes we have to shift our mindset….

Negative thoughts lead to negative paths ….in this time of thanksgiving I challenge everyone to take any negative thoughts you have this week …anything ….and work to find the POSITIVE

It’s easy to criticize, feel down or anxious at this time of year ….but those who live the longest and have the happiest lives are those who can take something negative and turn it around

BE the SMILE someone needs today
SHARE your resources with others
DO something that will help another

It really is THAT simple …relationships and positivity in a sea of loneliness and negativity …well today I CHOOSE to be a positive force in this world

I am thankful

REST is part of the formula for horses ….and people too! What a nice afternoon with friends and family as we had a FANTASTIC grouper lunch at Joanie’s Blue Crab Cafe and then off to the Everglades to see some gators and other wildlife on this gorgeous day….willow got her national park passport and her very first stamp is the 50th Anniversary stamp for Big Cypress National Park …miss my days of teaching high school science down at Everglades City School ….we did labs right in the swamp!

Such a cool place - great day trip - get out and enjoy some of natures best sights

Happy Thanksgiving …. Willow is such a lucky 🍀 little girl to grow up on a farm …. Get outside - It’s glorious right now!

Wuuuu Hooo!

So proud of Hannah and Kaaterskill pinning 11th in the 10k USHJA National Derby today in the World Equestrian Stadium! Only their second show together! Special thanks to Ravenwood Farm for the opportunity to pair up with this special horse! We ❤️you Dez!!

So….when it rains it’s a good time to work on skills that bolster our horsemanship…we worked in the barn on straightness using our Mat lines as a template for a center line…we learned how to move the horse with our leg to produce a leg yield all which helps whether a hunter….jumper…ALL equitation …watching the videos helps students see the subtle changes and how less is more I applaud those who come out on rainy days and still want to LEARN - it is not just galloping and jumping THIS is VITALLY important TOO!

So often people (and parents) underestimate the power of allowing children to just TRY something for fear of getting it wrong or not wanting to “make a mess” After a long show day at the farm Willow helped me gather up all the water bottles and I was going to wash them. She immediately wanted to help …and ran to get her little stool we use to reach the sink Watch listen and learn … children today are frozen with fear, full of anxiety and afraid to even TRY because they feel they have to be perfect …was she perfect - no - was there some mess - yes - did I have to take time to guide her thru the process with patience - of course Let children help, let them try, don’t fret over spills or even some frustration - let them ponder and adjust with gentle …yet firm …guidance She was so happy to help and excited to learn a new skill Don’t mow the way for your children …let them pull the weeds so that it makes way for beautiful tall flowers that stretch for the sun with CONFIDENCE Go Willow
