Happy Monday!

over there

The Weather Horse reports fall like temps with bright clear skies, chickens like cheese, Rev munching stolen corn cobs from the compost pile, the yellow bus picking up boys for school, the rising sun at a distinctly different angle stretching shadows long and reminding to enjoy the remaining warmth of the late Summer days.

Shake it Off!

head shake

The Weather Horse reports birds abundant with turkeys taking a turn around the block, crows silently swooping down from the trees, chickens scratching for bugs and eating romaine in the pen, heavy cloud cover spitting drops in front of cooler air coming, tucking in the tomatoes tonight – just in case.

Sweet Summer Day

The Weather Horse reports bright sunshine with long clear shadows stretching West, mild breezes playing in the leaves, cooler overnight with a barred owl hooting nearby, heavy dew drenching hoofs, life teeming with hummers, bees and dragonflies – in and out of the greenhouse – enjoying the colorful palette of petals, sweet days seeming shorter as time takes its toll.

New Neighbors!

The Weather Horse reports a few interesting new neighbors worth investigation, strange clucking & crowing, sudden flurries of feathers, not geese this time but Buckeye chickens, under mostly sunny skies after some valuable rain, lush foliage to forage, weeds mown down before going to seed, a gentle day to welcome a four day week full of new beginnings.
