Yesterday was sunny and crisp -- a perfect riding day. I remember thinking so a couple of times while hacking away at the broom-infilitrated pasture where we were having our Herd Watch. Now, I know you are saying to yourself, 'why weren't you riding' ;) but one way that we access trails is with the permission of a neighbour. Yep, we ride through her yard and out her back gate. In thanks for being able to do that, we went to her place to have our Herd Watch and to clear her pasture of broom -- well, not to clear her entire pasture but we cleared about 60 square feet. We would have been there all day and more for the entire pasture! You can see a 'purdy' picture of the annoying stuff, at upper-right.
Broom! The story goes that a Scottish immigrant brought and planted a broom plant to remind them of home. Understandable - but wow - Vancouver Island is becoming infested with the stuff. Of course, (almost) more importantly, we brought a delectable assortment of stuff to eat, included braised pear with brie on crackers, baked apples with brown sugar, goat cheese with bread, a yummy spread with bread, homemade banana muffins and homemade chocolate chip cookies. LIFE IS GOOD!
