| Whitehorse from Victoria |
The other day, a friend said she'd be riding on her own, it was the best thing for her horse right now. I looked back at my statistics for the past couple years - & they've gotten slower! We've been doing a lot of mileage - but not necessarily at any decent speed. Farah likes to go & I've been slowing her down. That's not good for her - or that matter - for me - since I too - like to get out & move.

Today, we moved! We had a blast! Farah was so happy to be allowed to go! There's going distance & there's going for speed. I've always enjoyed
some speed. I appreciate my friends so very much - those friends that actually invite me to ride with them! Joyce has horses that are up for speed work & Joyce always is :-) I've enjoyed meeting Mel again & riding with her too :-)

Soon, the trails will again be open at Victoria & Linda is always up for fast work on the trail - a lot of riders are counting the days! Lynn too has mentioned some longer rides & maybe some more point-to-point - which we both enjoy. It was a beautiful spring day & more are on the way!
Your elderberry is blooming?! Ours just barely sprouted their first leaves. Do you harvest elderberry blossoms or berries?
ReplyDeleteOne of the plants I miss most from home - the ubiquitous sword fern. Never thought I'd miss something so common, but here there are ferns everywhere, but the bracken type (that get to be 5 feet tall). I also miss devil's club (but not accidentally touching them). Something I love here that just got its needles back - the larch. How I love a color changing pine tree!
No, our variety is poisonous~ The blue variety on the east side can be eaten. I thought sword ferns were Everywhere! You're lucky to have the larch! I've only seen one or two struggling here to live.
