End of Summer






I spent the past weekend on the Oregon coast. It was amazing and beautiful, and best of all SUNNY! The coast is rarely this warm and without wind. I feel fortunate to have spent it with James and Bear. 


Feeling frustrated lately with riding. I want to progress more than I am. I feel great after a lesson but on my own I feel directionless. Finding it difficult to tell if it is me or the horse somedays. Looking forward to the day I can have a horse buddy of my own versus leasing. I am in love with one of the horses at the barn, although I believe I am not ready for him, and he is most likely too expensive. It is hard to justify the money I spend on horses sometimes. But we all feel like that at times, right? Patience and Diligence.

That first picture is absolutely amazing. Actually, on second thought, all of those pictures are quite beautiful. Which beach did you camp at? Our camping days are numbered, you know this, right? :-) I was freezing all day today. Fall is coming....

hey farmgirl,

That was Cape Lookout beach just 10 miles SW of Tillamook. They have yurts and a few cabins there but it's difficult to find availability, although winter time is good. Thanks for the feedback on the pictures.

Awwww, I know Cape Lookout very well - we used to go there ALL the time..then stopped, not sure why, and shifted to Nehalem Bay campground. It is SO beautiful there - looks like you had wonderful weather, to boot. We have a trailer, so I've never done a yurt.
