@sumi, you know that apple that you bite into and one eyebrow just automatically goes up 'cause they are a little on the tart side. that is what a jonathan is like. they are good for cooking, make great pies and some folks like eating them out of hand but i prefer a sweetly, spicy tartly apple but these are an old favorite around here and they were free. i have a big beautiful Maremma LGD named Katie who pretty much convinces all the predators to stay from up at the house. i must admit i worry a bit when the goats and sheep are out in the wild part of the property but so far so good. i lost her helper, Jasper about 3 months ago and am thinking about getting another LGD because it is so hard for them to do it all alone. first pix is of Katie and second of her as a pup with "uncle" jasper.
it was 102.2 in the shade in my backyard this afternoon. needless to say i didn't get much done outside today. got a couple of my saddles out of the storage building and got them cleaned up before it got horrible out. I've decided to sell or trade them because i am no longer able to ride for more than 20-30 mins before my back and hip are more than i can handle. I've spent 50 years of my life riding and to have to admit to myself that it isn't part of my future kinda bums me out. i try to remind myself that from the cradle to the grave our life evolves and changes but i still miss that feeling of freedom when its just you, your horse and the wind on the mountain, oh well.
