Wet Friday

wet

The Weather Horse is wet from heavy rain and not particularly comfortable with umbrellas while Rev enjoys the run, waves of water making the greenhouse noisy, rivulets running off hindquarters and stomach, dripping mane and tail, wet horse smell accompanying the wet dog smell as the countryside is nourished from above.

Stretching into the week’s end…

stretch

The Weather Horse ignoring the rain filled air eats wet grass and clover while Rev has a good stretch under heavy overcast and the ghostly roar of a low flying heavy, misty precip giving way to brightening skies to spur on graceful gladiolas in bright purples, reds and sherberty oranges, trumpeting vines triumphing, bee balm red and flocks bursting pink blossoms throughout the gardens.

Dog Wars

The Weather Horse reports dog wars at a temporary truce while Johnnie is off on a jaunt, marking his neighborhood, mostly sunny in some high cloudiness to begin with temps still suggesting the fall to come, misty covering on the feathery asparagus, squash bugs assaulting the zukes and cukes, Sterling shows up after a perfect cat hunting night out, wet pasture soaking feet and leaving paw prints throughout the house.

Glorious Summer Day

Summer’s Blissful Days…

with Rev 2
