The Idea of Order: Pumpkin Spice
It’s that time of year…
Presented by:
Further proof that fall is here: Pumpkin Spiced EVERYTHING.
Whether you’re one of the billions who loves the onslaught of pumpkin spice flavored ANYTHING, or you’re one of the ones gagging at the thought of ‘pumpkin spiced burritos,’ you have to admit that it’s ubiquitous this time of year.
While I don’t particularly care for pumpkin spiced lattes, I do love pumpkin pie. I also take great amusement in the fact that some recoil so vehemently from it since pumpkin spice is literally cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg — all of which are supposed to ward off evil beings and bad vibes…🤔🤔😅
Seems like it could be telling…🤣
Morgane Schmidt is, among many things, an equestrian who still hasn’t quite decided what she wants to be when she grows up. Author of Life with Horses Is Never Orderly, she knows all about the madness that comes with the equine territory, having owned and competed horses in eventing and dressage for years. A lifelong fan of the classic equestrian cartoons penned by internationally renowned artist Norman Thelwell, she began her own comic series in 2011, sharing deftly funny reflections on life with horses on Horse Nation as well as her personal website. A native Floridian, she spent a decade in Reno, NV, where she was able to confirm her suspicion that snow is utterly worthless (she has since regained her sense and moved back to the Florida swamp). Though she has run the gamut of equestrian disciplines, her favorite is dressage. She has completed her USDF bronze and silver medals and is currently working on her gold. Generally speaking, her life is largely ruled by Woody, a 14.2 hand beastly quarter horse, Willie, a now beastly 14-year-old Dutch gelding, and Milona DG, a 7 year old KWPN chestnut mare (you can make your own inferences there…).
