Good Morning, Good Eating!

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.

Heading for Greener Pastures – 20 May 2013

heading out

The Weather Horse and Rev heading for greener pastures – 20 May 2013 – cloudy start with the scent of lilacs heavy in the moist air, NW winds moving the damp morning aside for sun breaking through – raising temps later, cardinal sweetly singing its red song, violets riot in the lawn (that must not taste good) and longer, lusher grass growing down in the field for breakfast – a warm welcome to the new week!

Before the Sun Is Up

The Weather Horse before the sun is up but not out – in clouds but not rain – in cool, dewy morning temps amidst the peak of the flowering crab apple – alert for a brief moment between voracious mouthfuls – very light breezes with no tail movement (save swishing the bugs) – a special girl graduates, again, today, Best Wishes to all!

A Fox Saw His Shadow…
