Captured Outside the BACK Door!

Spring's been late coming to these parts this year, but the last couple of mornings have been about as lovely as spring mornings get.

That big long sprawl of a house is home to Juli, Ed, Squeaker, Button and Ranger. I took the picture on a walk back from the barn.

This domain is also one of the inner sanctums of Horse&Rider, whose heartbeat I monitor from the kitchen table most days.

Looks like a beautiful home...

I think it is great that you can work remotely alot of the time - not enough companies allow that.

How lovely. We're still having rain, but I'm not complaining.

Hey horse lovers I have a question... Have you ever seen a white/gray horse with black skin?? I just finished bathing my horses and I have one older one that is now white but I think used to be dapple gray. He has black skin!! Is that unusual??

Black skin is the norm for a gray horse.

The graying gene only affects pigmentation of the hair--not the skin.

From the kitchen table?! You put me to shame ... I have an office but spend most of my writing time with a laptop on my knees, and that in the family room, getting nothing constructive done. Presumably the kitchen table need not be cleared off for meals three times a day or you'd be finding another place to work. Regardless I'm impressed you are able to run a magazine from there. Too many of us use excuses to keep from organizing the job at hand ... "guilty!"

Re: the kitchen table--I just moved meals over to the dining room. The kitchen has a full wall of glass doors that looks out to the barn, which is never a bad view to have when you work at a keyboard all day.

I do have an office-office, overlooking the pasture. I'll move back to it once summer's more underway and the horses are all out eating grass instead of waiting for me to show up at the barn with hay.

I've run magazines from home for so long (about 20 years) that it seems normal to me. I don't know how people stand all the interruptions of working in a standard office setting!
