Comments (7)Some of our too-many horses. For a long time we've had a young chestnut mare and an ancient, long-since-retired pasture-buddy mare. However about a month ago my wife decided to move the young horse to a nearby riding facility so she could train and ride it more regularly. That left the old mare alone and lonely, so she asked around, and we got the above two for pasture board. Then a friend moved back to town, and needed somewhere to keep her one of her horses, and just after that the young chestnut mare got a cold, and the barn owner asked us to move it home so the other horses didn't get sick. It was sort-of working with two horses in the front pasture, two in the new back pasture, and the sick horse isolated in the paddock in between, but then one of the horses above figured out how to get out of the back pasture making things even more of a problem....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - Th 3/23/23

Comments (15)I’m going to say winter just because it usually gets a bad rap. I enjoy the fresh cool air and stillness. And midnight walks in fresh snow when there is a full moon. And Northern Lights. I like all the seasons and always feel fortunate to experience each one....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - M 6/26/23
Comments (21)Not that many tourists tromp through the canals - most go to the beach bike path or boardwalk, and the bike path does get crowded, especially in the summer and August, when European tourists tend to visit. I used to ride my bike on the bike path after work almost every day, and I did get tired of the crowds - especially the tourists who would walk on the bike path instead of on the boardwalk. The bike path was clearly marked in the pavement "BIKES ONLY" but perhaps some of the tourists could not read English. The Japanese tourists were especially bad because they would walk on the bike path in groups and cause problems for bikers. The boardwalk was right next to the bike path, and so there was no reason for people to walk on the bike path. I never saw a lot of people at the canals - mostly just locals....See Morestupidlazydog CT zone 5b/6a

2 years agoWendy - here's Misses Odorata. She sits on the GH floor along with her constant companion Mr. Multiflora. It's the shadiest part of the GH. If I put her on a shelf, she'll cook. Even in the "shade" you can see how bronze her leaves have turned. (That huge leaf next to her is a philodendron Orange something or other that I keep chopping the top off and rerooting. It too grows like crazy. Once winter sets in Mr Phil will slow down in growth, but it sure does take up a huge amount of room!) The light during the day is fairly intense. I cropped the pics, but the multiflora actually has some leaves which bleached out due to the high light exposure. I was contemplating cutting it and repropogating the top, but decided to let it try to acclimate to the higher light levels. Same for Miss Odorata. So far they are handling it well and hopefully the light will induce blooming in the fall. Mr Multi blooms constantly. In fact, he's putting out another flush of peduncles again. Misses Odorata hasn't but I don't expect them to happen just yet. Once they attend Prom night, and she gets all prettied up, I would expect to begin seeing some peduncles as a corsage! Can't wait to see what perfume she tries on! She is a heavy drinker however, but just water fortunately. I soak the potting mix every day for both of them, and mist the leaves once in the am and once in the pm. So, as you can see, she's very happy. Thank you for the cutting.
