TRIAL RUN FARM

I broke out this easy old school recipe last week when I had extra buttermilk on hand. ( You can make your own buttermilk with whole milk, and vinegar) While not a fancy pie, it is really nice with coffee and fresh berries. Reminiscent of a simpler time.

There is the coolest aquatic nursery on Bay Rd in Street,Md. The hard working propitiator has created her dream by obvious crazy hard work and being so knowledgeable in her field. While it appears much of her sales seem to be wholesale it is fun to visit and purchase beautiful plants.
She has aquatic plants that you can put in containers on your porch or in your pond. I love the vast display of water lilies.
Great place for a gift for someone special 😉, maybe yourself😃.

These beautiful days are calling for that iconic easy summer meal and we can help with that!!!

This lovely guy or girl was crossing our driveway today. While I now know that the Painted Turtle is quite common, this is the first for me. The colors were crazy beautiful. It as a mid size turtle much smaller than a box turtle.

“The painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) is a North American reptile known for its brightly colored shell and skin, featuring red, yellow, and green markings on a dark background, with a smooth, low-domed carapace and a pale yellow plastron (undershell). These semi-aquatic turtles are omnivores, active during the day (diurnal), and are popular pets due to their hardiness and beauty, requiring specific care including clean water, basking spots with UVB light, and a varied diet. “

My sister in law took a picture of Brian and I and turned it into fun. Yes, I look younger and thinner! Ok Chatgpt I see the allure😆.

Last weekend the MDA show was laid back and inviting as always, just made sweeter by dragging the out of state son to watch you ride on Mothers Day, Ha!

🌹🌹🌹Thanks to Katie Rose Photography for capturing the moments even in the unexpected downpour. Rumor has it she will be at the next show. Consider supporting her to capture some sweet moments.

I really can see the wisdom in investing in a saddle that can be rebuilt to the specifications of the horse you presently own. My friend retired a tall slimmer horse and her new model is short and stocky. She made an appointment with her saddle fitter and while it involved a several hour process, her beautiful dressage saddle was completely rebuilt to custom fit the new horse; brilliant.

Spring flower buying is serious business for me. Here are tips that I follow….

Now that EVERYTHING is so very expensive I would advise picking up an extra shift where you work….😮

Have ample time….

Get a great cup of coffee for the ride…..

Get the tunes going, if possible put down the windows….

If you can’t take the PERFECT garden friend, go by yourself so no one holds you back…..

Stroll through the greenhouses…make audible noises when overwhelmed with the beauty.

Make eye contact and nod to others having the same spiritual experience, no need to chat.

Don’t act surprised at the cost, just lean in.

Bring those beauties home and enjoy. Think and talk to yourself about placement, temperatures, and your garden expansion.

Buy wine on the way home to toast the day.

Start saving for next year..😉😎
