The Weather Horse reports one more summerlike day, tomatoes still ripening, the quiet morning broken by yipping coyotes not far enough away, leaves glowing in early light, celebrating the birthday of the peppermint benefactor, mild and warm, sunshine soothing, blue sky beckoning, chipmunk cheeks full in anticipation of what’s to come.

Crows calling in the day, rooster quickly after hens, The Weather Horse and his shadow Rev scrounging acorns from very wet grass, mist hanging on the asparagus and in the field creating faerie tents underfoot, sunlit leaves in their fiery finery sharply contrasted under fabulous blue, the promise of a glorious fall day and the haunting of summer, blissful and gentle.

This morning The Weather Horse was found trimming in the vegetable garden, narrowly missing almost ripened tomatoes, bright sunshine making distinct ear shadows, an egg a day from the young hens, Rev romping robustly in remarkable fall temperatures while fuzzy brown and black caterpillars bump along by.

The Weather Horse and Rev hanging with two of the many volunteers working the Brian’s Gift Race, awaiting the first runners on a truly great day for the race (the human race, etc) under crystal blue skies, warm temps, earlier mist rising and drying in clean dry air, spectacular sun and deep shadow, lots happening downtown at the finish line, enjoy!

The Weather Horse stepping out, frisky, into the first, fabulous full day of fall under brilliant blue, chilly clear air moving in windy waves, cold tomatoes remaining, ripening, mums celebrating in rosy mauve, sun penetrating treetops to warm the temps eventually, the beginning of a wonderful week!
