It’s mid-November and I have fourteen large pots of impatiens to plant. Florida is a gardening fanatic’s dream.

This is Mister, a Selle Français, which is a very athletic French breed popular with hunter-jumper folks. I love Mister – he roams freely around the farm and runs to meet you at the gate like a dog. That’s a little awkward, because Mister is enormous. He reminds me a lot of our old English Mastiff, Duke. If you aren’t paying attention, he will physically smother you with love.

Chewy got a haircut.
