The view from normal

Now where do you think I was when I took this picture?



Back in the saddle where I belong. Lucy's just as out of shape as I am at this point
so we didn't stay out for too long, but it was definitely one of our best rides ever.
Funny how Lucy's saddle seems to have gained about 20 pounds since the last time I threw it on her.



Lucy: You might want to put this hat back on your head until that haircut grows out.

  3. Ain't life GRAND. It is the small things that make a glorious day, like you getting to ride again. I hope that soon I may be able to take a hike in MY Great Smoky Mountains again. BIG SIGH

  12. As soon as you said you were freed from restriction by the doc, thought of you and Lucy going for a ride.

    Hurray!

    Please listen to the body telling you when things might still be too heavy to lift or a goal still and not quite everyday action.

  16. This is fantastic!!! You look terrific, and I love the hair. Regarding the chaps - they are amazing but, non-ranch person that I am - I'm scared to admit I thought you were wearing a fancy, beautiful apron at first!!! Duh...

    You rock, Carson. Your ranchsitters did an amazing job helping you heal.

  20. Yeeha! Or is it Ehore? Great to see you up and about. If I had a Donk that size, I would have a cart behind it for sure. Less distance to fall. :-}}

  24. Well, look at you! Right where you belong, I have to say.
    You've got your best buddy at your side, the sun is shining, and you're riding your beloved Lucy again. Doesn't get much better than that, if you ask me.
    Hair is adorable. Quitcher whinin'. :-)
