4th of July Flag and Fireworks

by up10ad | Wed Jul 9, 2008 | All (Home), Homestead | 0 Comments

I took the following photo from our back deck using my lowly iPhone 2MP camera. It shows the fireworks from the lake about a mile away with my backyard flagpole in the foreground. Just a bit of shadow/highlight adjustment in Photoshop CS3 and it looks OK.

So here is another ride. This is just too much fun.

2nd Cutting, Sub Par

by up10ad | Sun Aug 23, 2009 | All (Home), Homestead | 0 Comments

We need more water in several areas of the field. This fall we're going to mark it heavily to promote water flow and fertilize. Rest time after watching our neighbor cut and bale it. Watching is tough work!

Little Baby Chick

This little guy (or girl) was hatched last week and gets around pretty well already! He never gets more than a few feet from mother hen, but he ranges all over the yard, arena and pasture. He was one of about 5 eggs in the nest but the only one that hatched for some...

Sandi took her baby colt to have minor surgery done on his leg. He had a tendon issue that needed a slight tweak. All seems well and he is up and around only hours after waking.

Took my camera and went to Wekiwa Springs State Park today. Walked all around the springs for a bit, then took off on a hiking trail to Sand Lake, a two mile walk. Ambled around the lake taking pictures and then returned to the swimming area. Although I didn't activly...

Sad H1N1 Vaccine Story

I don't usually add stuff here unless it relates to our life somehow, but this is an exception. My purpose in linking to this video is not to discourage people from getting the vaccine, but to show how strange the human body functions. Keep in mind...

mmmm, asparagus

by up10ad | Thu May 14, 2009 | All (Home), Lifestyle | 0 Comments

All along the irrigation ditch that runs adjacent to our property we have the best volunteer asparagus. On any given day we can just take a walk and pick as much as we need for a great snack or dinner compliment. It is so yummy.

Peacock at Magnolia Park

Unfortunately, although I followed him for about 30 minutes, he didn't open his fantail. He looks a bit scraggly so it may not have been that spectacular anyway.

Holmdel Park & Bell Works Ride

by Rick | Mon Mar 22, 2021 | All (Home), Me!, Runkeeper | 0 Comments

Longest ride to date. Left around 1pm and headed to Holmdel Park. Only took about 45 minutes. After cruising aropund there a bit on the wooded trails we rode to Bell Works, just over a mile away. What a neat place. Grabbed some coffee and headed home. Nice 3 hour trip.
