The Farmer's Daughter

Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader

Summary: You and Jake go way back to his roots in Texas, with things ending in a rough manner. Now, he comes home to the farmer's daughter whose heart he swore he would never ride, or fly, off with.

Word Count: 4.0K

Warnings: Angst, Harsh Language, Hangman was lowkey a jerk, Cowboy!Hangman

A/N: *I will say if you are not a fan of ranch/farm life, this may not be for you!* But, I'm finally back to write something! I'm sorry it has taken so long but I have been so incredibly busy, but I hope this will be a good enough apology! COWBOY HANGMAN!!! -Birch<3

Part 2 - The Aviator's Cowgirl

Wind roars across the grassy plains of the valley, ruffling the dense coats of various colored cattle. Some were red, some were black. Others were red and white, while others were roaned and speckled in color.

The cows were quietly cruising through the glen, making their way down south toward the greener pastures. Spring was finally on its way, with warmer, sunnier days followed by even oranger sunsets.

Many of the calves clung close to their mothers after the spring calving, not wanting to be too far from the herd. Some of the cows were bolder, leaving their calves further away, then having to call and bellow to find their distant young.

It was one of the most beautiful things, living out on a cattle ranch. There was no sign of the city in any direction, and you got to raise the food that would supply you and your family through the seasons. Some may call it cruel, but others would say you were using what God gave you to live on.

Hours spent in the fields were not wasted on you. Plowing the land and fertilizing the dry, cracked soil, were not foreign ideas to you. Sowing seeds into the prepped ground, watering them to give them a chance at survival.

To you, there was no other life than being a rancher.

Being a rancher had its perks- making the best friends a man could have. The dogs, of course. The horses, even more so. And yet, nothing could beat the compassion and care of a friendly neighbor.

Growing up on your homestead, the next closest ranch was a few acres away. They never were close enough to see any of their cattle or pigs, and you had only been to their house as a kid.

Being a kid seemed so long ago.

Now, you spent most days sitting on the back of your palomino mare, Sandy. Days like today were spent watching your herd move down the mountain and into the plains of the valley. You didn't always use to be alone when you pushed the herd.

Occasionally your father would join you, but he had other matters to attend to, and your brothers always seemed to join him. Not that you cared, as riding horses was perhaps your favorite aspect of being a rancher.

You would check fences, push the cows, and ride up to the top of meadows to watch the sunset over your home. To you, there was nothing like the connection you had while riding a horse, and you wouldn't have given her up for anything.

At one point in time, you would have given every possession you had up for a certain cowboy.

Tall and muscular, with blonde hair, and green eyes. The classic, square-jawed look of a cowboy. A sharp tongue paired with an even quicker wit, combined with a charming personality and smile was the death of you.

It didn't help he was always willing to help out. Roping the calves for the brandings, fixing up the four-wheeler that seemed to stall every time you got it out. Even going as far as to bring your mother some of their fresh apples in the fall when your trees gave out.

He was kind-hearted, chivalrous, and down-to-earth. He was the definition of God's cowboy.

Jake Seresin.

The first time you ran into him was when you were at the farmer's market in town. Your mother had given you a specific list of items to get for her homemade chicken casserole, as she was busy picking up your younger sister from her riding lesson.

The stalls at the farmer's market were not unfamiliar to you, as you had tagged along with your mother many times as a child. The sellers were always kind to you and had Texas-sized personalities to go along with the enormous amounts of ingredients and produce they sold.

"Good morning, Mrs. Bell," you call as you walk up to the older lady's stand, looking over her collection of fresh berries and vegetables hand-picked from her garden.

A white head of hair popped out from the back of her tent, a wide grin on the older lady's face as she replies, "Oh, good morning, dear! Help yourself to whatever you need, I'm just having some help unloading my crates."

At that, Mrs. Bell disappears, and you giggle at her antics as you start to bag up a few peppers and tomatoes from her stand. It was a fairly quiet morning, so you took a moment to look around your surroundings.

A few older gentlemen were setting up their meat stand. You could see cuts of chickens, turkeys, and wild geese sitting on ice just as they worked on the larger carcasses of steers and barrows.

Your concentration is broken when you hear rustling at the back of the tent, and you turn around, clenching the bag of veggies close to you.

A boy donning a tan Stetson appears in front of you, his muscular arms holding a large crate of cucumbers as he slid through the folds of the white tent. His green eyes lock onto your own (colored) ones, and in an instant, his boyish charm captivates you in the form of a beautiful smirk.

"Good morning, Miss...?" he asks, a slight drawl to his rich voice as you take him in. He's wearing his cowboy hat, yes, but his hair was shaggy under the hat, a dirty blonde that you knew his friends probably teased him for.

He wore a simple navy t-shirt, as the morning was already warm. You allowed yourself to rest your eyes on the snug Wrangler jeans that hugged his waist, accentuated by the large and shiny belt buckle that finished off his look. You almost could have bet he wore a pair of boots too, but you snapped out of your daze before you could finish thinking about it.

"Y/n," you usher out, warm with embarrassment as he sets the crate down in the open spot in front of you. His green eyes are as sharp as jade when he regains eye contact with you, and his head tilts a little as he repeats, "Y/n...?"

You groan internally as you scold yourself for being so starstruck. You blink once to regain your cool, before shifting your weight and responding, "Y/n L/n. And who are you, cowboy?"

A low whistle slides out from his pink lips before he chuckles out, "Pretty name for an even more gorgeous girl. And as long as I can get your phone number, you can call me anything you want."

Being six feet underground had never sounded better at that moment, as his shameless flirting had your cheeks burning and your will to live dropping. You were thankfully saved from responding when Mrs. Bell popped up next to him and scolded, "Jake, you leave my favorite customer alone!"

You glance back over at him, quirking an eyebrow and you ask, "Jake, is it?" You whistle back at him and say, "Kind of a basic name for a basic cowboy, huh?"

Mrs. Bell folds her arms, watching the two of you with a knowing look in her eye. The cowboy, Jake, lets that wide smirk back onto his face and repeats, "It's a great name, for a great cowboy. I think it'd sound good next to your name too."

You do your best to ignore his flirtatious comments, and you look at Mrs. Bell and show her your bag of veggies. "Just three red peppers and four tomatoes," you say, willing the butterflies out of your stomach.

The older lady gives you a wink as she rings you up, and briefly turns to Jake and says, "Be a dear and go finish getting the rest of my crates, please."

He gives her a respectful nod and catches your gaze again, this time with a softer smile. Jake tips his Stetson towards you and murmurs, "Have a nice day, Miss. L/n."

You swore you were as red in the cheeks as the vegetables your mother was making you buy. Thanks, Mom, I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to look Mrs. Bell in the eye ever again.

The next time you met the blonde-haired cowboy was just at the start of summer, kicked off by the county fair you were always a part of. It was either submitting some of your favorite photographs from the ranch or helping your little sister prep her show steer for her 4-H competition.

And this time, Jake caught you at a shaved ice stand just after 6 o'clock in the evening, with the rays from the sun starting to fade into a mirage of colors across the fairgrounds.

He slid into the line behind you, as you were the only one crazy enough to get shaved ice in the evening as it cooled off. That smirk ended up on his lips again, and he announced himself with an order, "Make that another of whatever Miss. L/n is ordering, please."

You whip around at the drawl to his voice, cash in hand as your eyes widen. No. No. No. This is the worst time for this cute cowboy to be seeing me. My hair certainly has fuzz in it from our steer, my clothes are covered in mud, and I don't have any makeup on. Shit.

And Jake? Looked phenomenal. Wearing his Stetson, of course, with a tight white t-shirt that clung to every single unholy part of his body. The thin material led down to a deep blue pair of Wranglers, along with his buckle and boots.

He looked like a walking model from Ariat or Kimes, and here you were, looking like you had just finished wrestling a lamb from its ewe mother through a bale of straw.

"J-Jake," you stutter out as the attendant goes to make another shaved ice. His grin only widens when he realizes how caught off guard you are and he chuckles, "You miss me or something, sweetheart?"

You can't help the warmth that floods your face, and you know it's not from the sun, especially with the evening cooling off. Sweetheart? He certainly knows how to lay it on thick.

"I didn't realize you came to the fair," you opt to say, trying to ignore his flirty comment. He leans up against the side of the shaved ice stand as his green gaze latches onto your own and states, "Honey, I've been coming to this fair before I could go mutton-busting."

A giggle falls from your lips as you picture a little Jake riding on the back of a sheep, clinging on for dear life. He chuckles at your response to his comment, his gaze flashing up to the cashier as he fishes a $10 from his wallet. You finish giggling right as he passes the cash to the attendant and you frown.

"We're paying sep-" "It's alright, Miss. L/n, I got it," Jake says smoothly, grabbing both cups of the watermelon-flavored shaved ice and handing one to you. He shoots a wink at you as his fingers brush your own, and you once again find yourself fighting pink from your cheeks.

"Y/n," you say once you grabbed your shaved ice and spoon from him. He quirks his eyebrow at you but doesn't say anything. You roll your eyes and repeat with a shrug, "Y/n, you can call me by my first name."

Jake smiles at you, this time very genuine as he nods, "Alright, Y/n," he tests your name out, "Would you care to join me at the tractor pulls tonight? I know where the best seats are."

It's your turn to flash him a wicked grin and say, "Hell yeah, we need to go make fun of my brothers!" At that, you peel off away from him, leading the way toward the pulling lanes with a maniacal giggle. Jake can only smile and shake his head as he follows your figure.

What had he gotten himself into?

It didn't take long after the fair for the two of you to really hit it off. Casual hangouts turned into dinner dates out at the local diner. Short texts turned into long, midnight calls asking each other about how your day was, even if every day was almost the same.

Days turned into weeks, which turns into months as Jake spent time with you. He would spend any chance he could with you when he wasn't working or helping Mrs. Bell. He'd pull into your driveway, picking you up in his red and white '77 Ford truck, the pinstripes of red on it soon became one of your favorite colors.

You would take him out on the trails of your family's farm, trotting through the creeks, loping through the pastures. Jake was a cowboy, yes, and knew how to ride, but nothing made you happier than seeing him get along with Sandy, your mare.

He would even take you down to his family's farm, driving out into the pastures to watch the sunset over his fields of horses. Many nights would lead to the two of you cuddling up on the bed of his truck, surrounded by a blanket and a stray pillow or two.

You never had been more in love than when Jake pulled you into his arms and made you dance under the stars with him to Carried Away by George Strait. It was that very night Jake kissed you for the first time, and you could swear he knew exactly what he was doing when he claimed your heart as his own.

From then on, you were his, and he was yours. Everyone was ecstatic you had found a respectful man, although a bit of a tease, to stand by your side. Jake devoted himself to you and working on his father's farm, promising you a life of happiness.

It was almost expected that you were going to marry Jake someday. He had the same values as you and wanted a nice little family of a few crazy boys and some pretty little girls. He wanted to teach them how to ride, how to rope.

He wanted you to make dinner for him when the days got too long for him to help, and for him to clean the dishes while you put the kids to bed. Jake could picture his future so easily with you, you weren't ever like anyone he'd ever met before.

That's why two years into your relationship with the cowboy, he got you a promise ring for your anniversary. It was a simple silver band, as he knew you worked with your hands every day and would likely abuse a ring with a large stone on it.

Jake held the ring in his right hand, asking for your left one slightly. You couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time as you nodded, giving him your hand to slide the ring onto.

You wrapped your arms around his neck in a tight hug, his hands landing on your waist before wrapping snugly around your body. His grip was firm and unwavering, a solid constant in your life.

"I want you to think of me when you wear this ring, okay?" Jake whispered softly in your ear, holding you close to him. You sniffle and pull back, giving him a nod with watery eyes.

"I'll always think of you, Jake."

And the next day he was gone.

"Go on, git!" you yell at a loose heifer running away from the herd. You groan as she runs off into the woods, and you push the sorrel gelding you were riding into a trot to go after her. The rest of the herd started grazing as you left them, the wind whipping through the dried grasses around you.

It was a cold day in Texas. Your grey felt cowboy hat did its best to keep the wind off of your face, and even with your warmest jacket and wild rag tied around your neck, you still felt chilled and numb to your core.

It had been a hard few months when Jake disappeared without a trace. Mrs. Bell had no one to help her at her tent in the farmer's market, so you picked up the slack to help her.

Your dad grew sick and couldn't run the farm as readily, so you, your brothers, and your sister had to step in, while your mother took care of him. That meant you spent more time in the saddle, working all the horses and pushing the cows to the hay and silage for the winter.

Your gloved fingers reach for the rope tied to your saddle horn, and as you made your loop, your (colored) eyes found the young heifer again. You slow the gelding you were riding down, Ringo, he was called, as you come up to the small cow.

You could tell she was frightened, so while she didn't run, you gently threw the loop over her head and dallied the rope to your saddle horn. You glance over your shoulder, ensuring the rope was secured around the heifer's neck before dragging her out of the woods and back to the herd.

When the herd comes in sight, confusion floods over you to see Sandy, your palomino mare, being ridden. It wasn't your sister, she had her own bay gelding she liked to ride.

And it wasn't your brothers, as they preferred the four-wheelers. There was only one other person who rode your horse other than you. It was a cowboy. And not just any cowboy.

It was your cowboy.

The silver band on your left ring finger seemed to freeze over with a gust of wind, even though it was covered by your gloves. You can feel tears threatening to burn the edges of your eyes, but you ignore them.

It was him.

Trotting around the edge of the herd, keeping them close together, Jake steered Sandy perfectly, riding her with a practiced ease, like he had never left. You continue to drag the heifer up to the edge of the herd, where he finally catches sight of you.

You can't stand to look at him, and you leave your rope dallied to your horn as you swing your chap-covered leg off of Ringo and onto the ground. Tears stream down your face as you try not to sob, and you walk over to the scared heifer.

You slide the rope off of her neck, and she gets up and runs off to join the herd. You can hear Sandy's footsteps stop next to Ringo, and you hear Jake's feet hit the ground.

Sobs silently wrack your body, and you close your eyes and cover your face as you hear him approach you. He doesn't say anything, but you know he's standing directly behind you, waiting.

A gust of wind blows through, making you gasp for air as it seems to leave your lungs. The tears on your cheeks feel like they freeze to your skin as your vision blurs and a loud cry falls from your lips.

And that's enough for Jake.

He takes two large steps forward, wrapping his arms tightly around your waist from behind. His large frame helps block the wind, yet his touch makes your cries get more violent.

You turn around in his grasp, your gloved fists coming up and punching him in the chest. You're sobbing and thrashing, completely overcome with emotion.

Jake doesn't budge though. He's harder, firmer under your touch than you remember. From the blur in your vision, you can just barely tell that his shaggy locks have been cleaned up into a tight, slicked-back look under his Stetson.

How you had missed that damned straw hat.

"How could you?!" you scream as you lash out at him, a sob leaving your lips at the end of your cry. Jake just holds you tighter, and he takes his chances and pulls you into a close hug, wrapping his arms around your waist to stop your onslaught of attacks.

Your hands get trapped against his chest, yet your whimpers don't end. You can just barely hear Jake shushing you, the sound of his voice blending in with the whisper of the wind floating over you.

"How could you?" you mumble, your voice breaking at the end of your question. Jake pulls you impossibly closer, the felt hat on your head getting bumped off center, but you couldn't bring yourself to care.

"I never meant to leave you," he states, his voice different than how you remember it. There was no familiar twang to his voice, it was harder, more neutral. He didn't sound like himself. You push off of him, fighting through the new strength he seemed to come back with.

You push your hat back down onto your head, brushing away the tears from your eyes and cheeks with the backside of your gloves. You stand back and take him in. He's wearing the clothes of the man you loved, but he certainly didn't look like the Jake you remember.

He was broader than before. Wider from shoulder to shoulder, no doubt covered in more muscle. He was clean-shaven, with no sign of the stubble or beard you grew to love on him. Even his eyes had harshened, they weren't as sweet or soft as you recalled.

"How could you leave me like that?" you ask quietly again, not happy with his answer. "You left me after that night, Jake. You LEFT me after you gave me this damn ring!" At that, you pulled your left glove off, the silver band immediately catching the cool light from the overcast sun, gleaming as if it were brand new.

You could feel a wave of new, hot tears burning at the edges of your eyes, but you pushed them down and continued, "I waited every day, Jake. For a call, a text, or a letter in the mail. And I got nothing." Your voice dropped deadly quiet on the last word, a lone tear streaming down your cheek.

You couldn't read the emotion on Jake's face, as it was perfectly masked. You huff once to catch your breath and then you yell, "Say something, dammit!"

Another gust of wind blows through, and Jake glances down at his boots before regaining eye contact with you. The jade color of his eyes had dimmed, and when he gazed at you, you didn't know how to feel.

"I never stopped loving you, Y/n. I had to leave, even though I really didn't want to," he starts. He takes a step toward you, but you take another step back, your arms wrapping around yourself protectively.

Jake can feel his heart crack at the way you're looking at him. It was never supposed to be like this. You seem to glare daggers at him and whisper, "You always have a choice." He swallows thickly, averting his gaze, and continues, "Not this time, I didn't."

You groan in frustration and whip around in a circle, heading back for the horses, but Jake catches your free hand in his own. His rough fingers catch your left hand, the feeling of his skin on yours enough to make you stop in your tracks.

"Y/n, please wait," he calls out. You immediately snap back, "I waited 6 damn months, Jake! You just up and disappeared! No one would tell me where you were or what happened to you."

You rip your hand out of his, quickly shoving your gloves into the pocket of your jacket. You pull the promise ring off of your ring finger and looking him in the eye, you slam it up against his chest.

With tears in your eyes you whisper, "I'm tired of thinking about you Jake, because every time I think of you, I think about how you left me with nothing."

He doesn't move as you pull away from him, grabbing the reins of both Ringo and Sandy, you mount the gelding you had been riding. With your rope recoiled and Sandy next to you ready to pony, you look back at him.

"I'm sure you can find your own way out of this damn pasture," you say coldly as you lope off, Sandy trotting next to you as you bypass the herd of cows.

And as you ride off toward your homestead, tears streaming down your cheeks, Jake is left standing in the pasture with snow falling around him, holding the ring that had previously bound him to you.

Rhyolite Valley Inspirations/References

I wrote about this earlier, but it was right before leaving for work so I didn’t have time to gather all my sources. I know walls of text aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, so this is the picture version :P

If I don’t mention a specific sim/lot it’s because I didn’t use any references to make it. Either way, both my ideas with and without references were filtered through self-imposed limitations to keep everything in line with the hood’s themes (wild west, grungy/ramshackle, self-sufficient, isolated, etc.)

Also my plan is never to do a perfectly identical recreation of the image I’m referencing, it’s just a foundation for developing my own concept.

Also also, if it’s not from a video game I found it on Google lol

Gibson’s Shack, Fallout New Vegas ➜ Simulado Ranch

Old Lady Gibson, Fallout New Vegas ➜ Gibson Family

Pioneer Saloon (also in FNV) ➜ Vienna’s Saloon

Johnny Guitar (1954) (also in FNV) ➜ Vienna & Johnny Guitar

“Skoolies” (in general) ➜ Aestas & True’s bus

Mausoleums (in general) ➜ Ophiel’s crypt

@sergeantaegis‘s Lost Hills mine ➜ Rhyolite Mine

Sandy Shores, Grand Theft Auto V ➜ Klaatu Mobile Park

Research greenhouses (in general) ➜ Krelboined Horticulture

Image 1: This picture as a background existed on the Broodhollow website's pre-September 5th, 2013 blog format.

Image 2: More viewable. Here's its transcribed text:

Four Hours in Trucks

The men are boarded into trucks and their trip to and from the ranch might take all of four hours. There they put in a nine-hour day receiving wages from 17 to 25 cents an hour for the time actually spent in the fields. Laborers admit that the farmer has no direct contact with the men in such a set-up, as the work is handled through labor contractors.

(Next: Resettlement Camps for Transitory Workers.)

Charges that farm maintained camps were in the same condition as those of the squatters were made by Mr. Brumm, who charged the State Division of Immigrants and Housing "had failed to establish any kind of system of adequate housing facilities. The commission apparently prefers to act only in an advisory capacity rather than attempt strict regulations." He said. Supporting this contention he quoted a statement from Earnest C. Hehr, a director of the Associated Farmers:

"Due to the general slump in fruit prices for many past years, the matter of proper housing has been greatly neglected. The fact has been recognized by the Department of Immigrants and Housing and they have purposely been very lenient. Housing conditions in most orchard areas are in need of improvement or correction."

Whether immigrant workers 'squat' or pay rent cabins on a ranch, problems are the same. Families are crowded into limited quarters: water, toilet facilities are either insanitary or dangerously inadequate; garbage disposal is often neglected.

606 in One Camp

Following the crops through the state, Irving Moore observed that many of the squatter camps were established on the edge of irrigation ditches. The heavily silted water was used for bathing, drinking and laundry work alike. The water problem proved even more acute in the Imperial Valley where workers had to buy water from service stations, occasionally involving long drives in their dilapidated autos to and from their camps.

County camps, notably the one at Shatter, Kern County, offer few comforts to the transit worker as some 600 people camp out in the sandy fields without bathing or washing facilities, it was reported. No shade is theirs as they trudge across the barren fields to the single well.

Near larger valley towns the whole issue of camp facilities is deftly side-stepped by the system of hiring the men by day, driving them out to the fields and returning with them at nightfall.

#broodhollow #let me know if i got any part wrong #I didn't expect this to be about labor condition struggles #i wonder how this could fit into the narrative? planchette's child labor is the only major labor mention... the bottlefly boy's shifts at #the mill were mentioned once i think? because broodhollow is about tracking history & the mystery of what male broodhollow workers are up #to in their cave maybe it'll wrap around to be about workers in some way?#ive thought for a long time about getting that 1000$ kickstarter reward where you could get your own character in broodhollow...#i love broodhollow so much i would make sacrifices to get that reward next kickstarter. if i got that opportunity i would ask for the #character to be a labor union militant. now reading this i think there's more to pushing broodhollow in that direction than i thought #there was.

Point Reyes National Seashore: Discover California's Coastal Paradise

Point Reyes National Seashore, located just an hour north of San Francisco, is a breathtaking coastal retreat offering a unique blend of natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and rich history. This protected area spans over 71,000 acres, with dramatic cliffs, secluded beaches, rolling hills, and lush forests that make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring California.

A Haven for Wildlife

Point Reyes is a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 1,500 species of plants and animals. Visitors can spot gray whales migrating along the coast, elephant seals basking on the beaches, and Tule elk roaming the grasslands. Birdwatchers will also be delighted by the abundance of bird species, including peregrine falcons, snowy plovers, and northern spotted owls.

Stunning Coastal Landscapes

The seashore’s dramatic landscapes are among its most striking features. From the towering cliffs at Chimney Rock to the expansive sandy beaches at Drakes Beach, Point Reyes offers some of the most picturesque coastal views in California. The rugged beauty of the coastline is enhanced by the often foggy and windswept conditions, creating an atmospheric experience for visitors.

Historic Lighthouses and Maritime Heritage

The Point Reyes Lighthouse, perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is a testament to the region's rich maritime history.

Apartments in Temecula Valley

Getting an apartment in Temecula Valley is probably one of the best decisions you have ever made. First of all, it's cheaper to rent an apartment than to pay for a home. Second, Temecula Valley's advantageous location close to schools, retail malls, and outdoor leisure places makes it ideal for families. It offers convenience and an excellent standard of living. Anyway, the area provides a reasonable cost of living that makes three-bedroom apartments and townhomes an attractive option. Also, the modern studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhomes boast 10-foot ceilings and private balconies, enhancing your living space. Whatever floor plans you are looking for, you can get it from Solana Winchester Hills.

Temecula, CA, is a beautiful small town.

I like Temecula because it's a beautiful small town. Temecula blends the 19th-century ranching and stagecoach history with the modern and authentic charm. This Old Town Temecula is also a nice hub for craft boutiques, galleries, and speakeasies. This region is such a foodie haven with talented culinary professionals. Visitors of this town can explore the history of the area at the Temecula Valley Museum, or watch a stage production at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. Surely, they'll enjoy this. They can also meet the local artisans at farmers markets. Get something from the fresh produce that they'll surely like.

Lake Skinner

Escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy the peaceful beauty of Lake Skinner. This lake is a real deal, so you must visit it if you want to enjoy a beautiful and serene spot. This recreational lake offers opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. These are perfect spots if you want an outdoor activity. You can also relax on the sandy beaches, enjoy water sports, or simply take in the scenic views. Lake Skinner is a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil getaway. Lakes are also very popular for their natural beauty, recreational activities, and relaxation activities.

Temecula's former football star becomes paralyzed.

Jason Pugal, a former high school football star from Temecula, has been paralyzed from the neck down after a fracture in his neck occurred during practice with his college team in Nebraska. Pugal, the oldest of five brothers and a former football standout at Great Oak High School, faces a long road to recovery. He was flown to Rapid City, South Dakota, for emergency surgery, where he has regained some range of motion and can feel more of his left hand. The Pugal family needs to bring Jason home for the next phase of his rehabilitation. There's a GoFundMe page set up to help cover the $28,000 cost to fly him back to California.

Exploring Merced's Wine Country: Discovering Vineyards and Wineries in California.

Nestled in California's picturesque Central Valley, Merced County offers a delightful surprise to wine enthusiasts: its burgeoning wine country. While often overshadowed by more famous regions like Napa and Sonoma, Merced's wine scene boasts a rich tapestry of vineyards and wineries that showcase the region's unique terroir and dedication to winemaking craft.

A Historical Overview

Merced County's viticultural roots trace back to the mid-19th century when early settlers recognized the fertile soils and favorable climate for grape cultivation.

Over the decades, family-owned vineyards and boutique wineries have flourished, contributing to Merced's reputation as a hidden gem in California's wine landscape.

Terroir and Grape Varieties

The terroir of Merced County is defined by its Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. This climate, coupled with fertile loam and sandy soils, creates optimal conditions for growing a variety of grape cultivars. Among the prominent grape varieties cultivated here are:

Chardonnay: Known for its versatility, Chardonnay thrives in Merced's moderate climate, yielding wines that balance fruitiness with crisp acidity.

Cabernet Sauvignon: A signature grape of California, Cabernet Sauvignon in Merced develops rich flavors and structured tannins, reflecting the region's warmer temperatures.

Merlot: This soft, approachable varietal finds a home in Merced, where it ripens fully to showcase plum and berry notes with a velvety texture.

Known for its family-friendly atmosphere and award-winning wines, Vista del Rey Vineyards crafts wines that reflect both tradition and innovation. Their estate-grown grapes produce varietals such as Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc, which visitors can savor during laid-back tastings overlooking the vineyard.

Wine Tasting and Experiences

Exploring Merced's wine country goes beyond tasting exceptional wines; it's about immersing oneself in the region's agricultural heritage and community spirit. Many wineries offer guided tours through vineyards, showcasing sustainable farming practices and the labor-intensive process of grape cultivation. Tasting rooms provide an opportunity to sample an array of wines, from crisp whites to bold reds, often accompanied by artisanal cheeses and local delicacies that complement the flavors.

Community and Sustainability

Central to Merced's wine culture is a commitment to sustainability and community involvement. Wineries frequently collaborate with local farmers and artisans, fostering a network that supports both economic growth and environmental stewardship. Visitors can learn about these initiatives firsthand, gaining insight into how conscientious farming practices contribute to the quality and character of Merced wines.

Conclusion

Where Can I Go Horseback Riding For a Day? horse riding classes in Bangalore | Zippy

For those looking to enjoy the great outdoors at a more civilized George Eliot-era pace, look no further than equestrian adventures. Many cities and towns feature a number of horseback riding stables that cater to all experience levels.

One thing to remember while riding is to keep your eyes up and forward. Horses can feel any body movement you make while on their back, so it is important to look where you want to go.

Horseback riding is available at a number of locations near JP Nagar. In Greene County, for example, you'll find four ranches and equestrian centers that offer trail rides and other outdoor adventures. Besides English and Western riding instruction, some also provide horse-drawn hayrides and pony rides for the little ones.

Staten Island was once home to numerous stables but they're becoming a rarity these days. Get Over It and Ride is one of the few in the area and welcomes kids as young for daily Horse riding lessons. They also have a summer camp and pony parties for kids. The site's horses are bred and raised on the property, giving you a true country experience.

Ride along scenic trails at a variety of indoor and outdoor horse stables. Take a pony trail ride, a lesson or join a group ride. The equine experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature while also providing a great workout and building confidence.

Visit Pleasant Valley Ranch in New Ringgold, PA for a range of activities that cater to children and adults of all ages. Kids will love a pony trail ride, lasso-making and a barn tour. Families can enjoy a 1- or 2-hour horseback trail ride that extends over hundreds of acres of picturesque scenery and rugged terrain.

Advance your riding skills with lessons at Courtesy Stable located at Wissahickon Valley Park. The family-friendly horse stable also offers boarding and horsemanship programs for children. Schedule a barn day or sign up the kids for one of the horsemanship summer camps.

A girl doesn’t get to dream of her knight astride a glorious steed every day, but does have a few equestrian areas for families. One of the best is horseback riding trails, which are an exciting and affordable way to take zippy Equetrian

Horseback Riding, whose guided trail rides include sunset and moonlight tours of the Santa Monica mountains. The ranch also offers lessons for those looking to become more proficient on their own.

There’s nothing quite like the sensation of hopping onto a horse and trotting out across a sandy beach, the salt spray from the ocean blowing your hair back. Luckily, the Bay Area has plenty of options to help every day people live out their dormant cowboy dreams without having to venture too far away from home.

Wellness Wednesday:

It's Gonna Be May

Dude, I love May.

I am excited for yard games, cookouts, movies, golfing, campfires, traveling with no fear of icy roads or freezing temps.

The first week of May I am diving in hard. Got a Fresh Haircut, Taking PTO, catching a Matinee Flick with My Buddies, Getting a Massage, Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, and I am planning on having a good time with my family.

I don't know why but things just seem easier in May. Probably my favorite month/time year - right up there with September. Hoping to lose some tension and just relax.

Workout-wise - I started working out to music and it been a total gamechanger. Yeah - this is nothing new or unheard of - but I been typically watching/listening to show or the news while working out.

My workouts were averaging around 55mins each session.

Now with music on in the background I am knocking out workout sessions in about 23 mins... and I am still getting the same amount of sweat if not more.

Only difficulty I have experienced with the new workout routine is what album to put on. Looking for album that is solid throughout.

Listened to couple Foo Fighters, Weezer, Blink 182, The Darkness, and Childish Gambino albums, and one Movie Soundtrack.

Food-wise, I am working on cleaning out my cupboards, fridge, and freezer before buying anymore food/meals outside fresh fruit, fresh veggies, milk, and bread.

Earlier I bought a lot of groceries for meal prepping and never prepped them. So, that is my mini goal to tackle but I not going to be pigheaded or stubborn about it - going to be loosey-goosey with my meals.

Closing Thoughts:

The Good:

I've been attempting to read book for over a month - really wanted to have one completed in the month of April but the books I chose were dragging. I pivoted and gave up on those books and picked up a new book at the beginning of the week and it is cruising - over half way complete.

Finishing workouts in a reasonable amount of time.

Added Planks and Sit-Ups to the workout routine. So far so good - no back pain, but do have that core/ab burn.

I went ham and bought a large variety of cashews and Pistachios.

The Bad:

I heard some comment a long time ago that if you go clean (no takeout, junk food, sugar sweets) for just 21 days that you would break all the cravings. Well....It has been well over 21 days - closer to 122 days - can somebody explain why I just want to go all 'Tracy Morgan" on a Double Whopper with Cheese with a of Side Chips??? If I even get a whiff of BK I start drooling.

The Ugly:

My Sleep and My Workouts have been battling each other for dominance. Been having to take a nap just so I can workout which then causes my workouts to take place at odd hours of the day - talking anywhere between 2am and 5am
