The window boxes suffered mostly from raccoons, squirrels or cats digging in them!.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-1076062866815967902017-10-06T08:24:32.275-04:002017-10-06T08:24:32.275-04:00Thanks Sandie.

Unfortunately while peat is natural, it is not a quick renewable source.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-64410134334588238562017-10-06T08:08:58.104-04:002017-10-06T08:08:58.104-04:00How exciting for you - are your riding English or ...How exciting for you - are your riding English or Western?

The pond is beautiful, especially with the reflection, but with snapping turtles I can see why you wouldn't want to swim in there! Peat Moss is quite a scarce commodity here in UK and to preserve the peat bogs alternative materials are being used in gardening. I can't imagine it being used here as a bedding material though I imagine it is very soft and absorbant. I do hope you find somewhere nearby where you can ride again. I'm sure the universe is looking out for you x<br />Thank you for taking part in 5in5 this month, your photos are lovely, and hold many happy memories.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558786621283350776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-19533114339296623812017-10-05T13:11:53.667-04:002017-10-05T13:11:53.667-04:00Oh, it looks like a wonderful place & you have...Oh, it looks like a wonderful place & you have so many memories there! So glad you took these final snaps. <br /><br />I'm actually taking horseback riding lessons this month - one of the items on m 50 Things list. I need to remember to snap a few photos of the equestrian center after my next lesson.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-86571678543744857582017-10-05T09:08:44.060-04:002017-10-05T09:08:44.060-04:00It is a beautiful location & I think that is w...It is a beautiful location & I think that is what makes me so sad is that the new owner wants to gut so much.

The horses that I use to borrow from my friends at this stable, all moved to a stable a fair distance from me & I hesitate to make it my connection because in winter it would be a scary drive. I am hopeful The Universe will present an opportunity, maybe one I haven't even thought of. :)Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-2853223582262333682017-10-05T07:09:18.716-04:002017-10-05T07:09:18.716-04:00That's a beautiful stable - very large by the ...That's a beautiful stable - very large by the looks of things.
