Well summer is almost done. Here on the Oregon coast we tend to have a late burst of good weather, September is usually one of the most "summery" months for us and this year is no exception, we've had a beautiful couple of weeks and the temp even made it into the 80's (that's a heat wave for us lol) Perfect weather to turn Lily into a bathing beauty! She's not a huge bath fan, but now she's spiffy and all ready for that first coat of winter mud.I had high hopes for this summer and getting Lily going under saddle. It didn't go exactly according to plan, but we're progressing. We'll go slow but steady this Fall/Winter and I hope to be able to introduce a little trail riding next summer!!
We had a huge blackberry crop this year too and next summer I'm going to try my hand at making some blackberry wine. Blackberry wine and maybe a sunset ride on the beach next summer??? Something to look forward to!

I don't remember seeing many blackberries this year? Weird, since we had a lot of sun. Maybe the birds got them! I need to double check. I love fresh blackberries (especially on ice cream!) :)
mmmmm on ice cream yes!! Yeah we had soooo many blackberries! I need to learn how to make blackberry jam too!
That's a nice looking blackberry. Would be fun to pick them right off the bush.
Yes it is fun! I actually feel bad because there are so many that a lot end up going to waste! Thats why I'm going to have a go at blackberry wine and preserves next year!
