Timmy Update! (It’s a good one!)

I’m thankful…

What the heck is hacking out?
I love this phrase… but even more, I love this explanation from the Literary Horse…
“I find there are usually two responses to this phrase, depending on the frame of mind of the rider who says it. If said pleasantly after a nice ride: I’m going to hack out my horse tomorrow, the listener is most likely to be puzzled, if a bit anxious.… Continue Reading
I thought we were in the south?
Growing up in Pennsylvania, I was always told “it’s time for the birds to fly south” as we would watch groups of birds fly in synchronous beauty! But now I live in the south… so what’s up with our birds? … Continue Reading
