ROBINS!!! They were moving pretty fast and I was very bad at a video attempt so here is a picture of the trees they were flying in and out of and around. No, those are pine cones. I tried. . . . #vscocam #nc #farmlifeinthecity #robins #migration #springiscoming #birds https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrezG5ucKP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had something to admire while waiting to get my truck fixed. Original paint, belonged to his father, gorgeous! . . . #vscocam #nc #farmlifeinthecity #65Olds #mechanics #cars #gettingthetruckfixed https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZ1ttoOdQL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Southern baking means cool enough to turn on the oven but too cool for bread to rise properly. #vscocam #nc #farmlifeinthecity #peasantbread #baking #bread #pyrex #pyrexbowls #salt #flour #sugar #yeast #alexandracooks https://www.instagram.com/p/ClbktDYOnzY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My mother died 30 years ago. The most interesting thing to come from writing about my life is that no one (who's read my book) has asked what I left out...

I painted the knobs on my Scottish sideboard on a sunny day. Now that Ian is stopping by (uninvited), I feel like posting the outcome. Not bad. I've always hated how the seller changed the originals to those shiny brass knobs.

I gave up on wild or farmers market grapes after several trips resulted in nothing. I still don't understand the process because I've produced another batch of grape syrup. Perhaps next time...Yes, it still tastes marvelous! . . . #vscocam #nc #farmlifeinthecity #muscadine #grapes #jelly #muscadinejelly #balljars #weckjars #publix #surejell #sugar https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci797jCuXGJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I found much cheaper frozen farmed pompano at a grocery store. It's fine. I paired it with some horribly expensive super dense Jamaican bread, toasted. . . . #vscocam #nc #farmlifeinthecity #dinner #fish #fishfriday #grillin #pompano #hotsauce #lemon #noteatingtheeyes #yesthere'smeatinthehead https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2p3rSuCSc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back to work..again. I stopped for a few weeks because PT was kicking my butt and CJ is having some sort of issue. I tried to find a trainer for help without any luck so...so much for that. He's lost muscle in his top line showing me that our little bit of work was doing him good. If we just walk in little circles, bending shoulder and haunches like Nuno Oliviera, it's better than nothing.... . . . #vscocam #nc #farmlifeinthecity #dressage #roundpen #canter #trot #thirdlevel #backtowork #totalhipreplacement #totalkneereplacement #missthis #nunooliviera #americanwarmbloodregistry #yourdressage https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-EQ5IuGkD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
