The Weather Horse out before sunrise, roosters crowing through the hush of thick air with clouds on the move, mild morning with a feel of summer, sun expected to raise temps, storms possible with changing conditions, eating – moving muscles on the jaw suggesting survival with treats of clover, quince bush glory fading while lilacs open with their lovely scent.
