We Are Flying Solo

July 7, 2012

On Again, Off Again








  1. I really believe that the most rewarding jobs are also the most challenging and demanding. Sounds like you've been busy!

  2. My hat is off to you.
    You go Science Girl!

  3. Hahaha, well, psychological rewards only go so far. Sadly, they do not pay the bills.

  4. I totally missed the boat on the kept woman thing. It looks like a pretty sweet life.

    Good thing we like working outside, right?

  5. I just about live outside! It's mostly great, although I was questioning it a bit in the 1000% humidity swamp I sampled on Thursday. But it was still a beautiful swamp that I never would have seen otherwise!

  6. I have a horse like that--very opinionated, very brave. I need him to be polite and workable, but I don't want him to loose his attitude and spark. It's what makes him such a great foxhunter and eventer! I find that if I think of having a conversation with him--let him tell me what his opinion is, but then tell him I really do want what I was asking for--then we hit that happy medium. I have a horse that is both rideable and "has that spark", and he is happy.

  7. Does your 1/3 of the state include the eastern third?

    As someone who spends all day outside, (landscaper) I can relate. These last few weeks have been pretty brutal. The ultra high humidity is oppressive.

    Looking forward to a break in the weather and more riding time. :D

  8. CJ -- that is it exactly!

    CFS, we go by watersheds. So I do go east for the coastal plain section of the Lumber, the Cape Fear and the White Oak basins.
