Good morning everyone. I've been gone for a while.
Did a really hard trail ride Sunday hills and rocks, but Melody did fine, I was proud of her. One of the worst trails I
ve been on. We got onto it by accident and then got so far it was worse to turn back than to keep going. But all was well.
Hoping for some rain here in the Texas Hill Country.
LOL! I've been on trails like that. You just gotta shut your eyes, grit your teeth and hang on (and hope that your horse doesn't have a death wish). ;o)
WElcome back squarebard:) Sounds like an interesting ride.
I just posted this post on the garden thread, and thought I would post it here too. I'm wondering if I got carried away this year:)
I have my garden finished....well pretty much, unless something really special catches my eye.
But for the most part it's done now except for the growing.
I have a whole lot more variety this year, I'm getting braver at trying stuff, and so far everything looks to be staying healthy.
Here's a list of the things I have:
Glads, (my favorite:)
Gerbera Dasiys (running close to glads)
hostas
2 varities of ornamental grass
periwinkels
marigolds
4 varieties of coleus
impatients
4 varities of lillies
geraniums
asparagus fern (accents the gerbara dasiys)
sylvia (great for hummingbirds)
petunias
primroses
dianthius
snapdragons
phlox
alssyium
texas bluebells
iris
begonias
elephant ears
morning glories
moonflowers
1 rosebush
1 redbudtree
monkey grass
nandina bushes
Some of these things I only have one planted. I have a line of rocks that I planted different kinds in the nooks and crannies of the rocks. It looks great.
The purple alyssium I planted in a row next to a row of yellow marigolds. They both seem to compliment each other so well, they just look so bright next to each other.
Making this list has surprised me. I knew I had a lot of differnt things but I didn't realize this much:)

Our last trail ride... And ecurbh's first ride on Cyn, was like that. Yes, if you're lucky, it feels good when you are done to have pushed the envelope because you really learn that your horse is more capable than you might have thought. But sometimes you know it was more lucky than smart. I am ~SO~ looking forward to having our own trailer so we are no longer at the mercy of friends with questionable judgment of what a good trail is.
