The Weather Horse, 13 June 2013, reports bright sunshine to start but not to last, a cardinal calling ceremoniously, a day to wile away the hours, conversing with the flowers, consulting with the rain, drat daisies in the lawn are mowed – still plentiful in the field along with a lush crop of clover to covet, waning wind, clouds increasing, time for being without bugs or bites, Rev is close by investigating walkers – oblivious to the calm.

Keep Out of the Garden!
The Weather Horse, Wednesday, 12 June 2013, reports random, rampant squash (or melon of some sort) springing from the compost pile, the giant horseradish (that can’t be killed) thriving in its corner of the garden, green beans and cucumber hills surviving the horse angel and hoofprints from the other night, some light rain drying up in breaking clouds, damp and a little dark this cool morning with unsettled conditions expected throughout today.
Do you Want to Know a Secret?
The Weather Horse, 11 June 2013, reports light rain showering here and there, while listening to Rev’s secrets, the wind in the trees and the overflowing water buckets spilling, thick cloud cover promises more quenching precipitation, no shadows, generous grass growing for eating, bugs at bay, daisies and buttercups littering the pasture, a cool late spring day to enjoy!
Cowbirds Close By…
The Weather Horse, Monday, 10 June 2013, reports cowbirds close by with a fluid song – a third chirping a warning from the oak, Rev is away, hazy sun through the overcast still morning, green beans and summer squash breaking soil in the garden (between hoofprints), asparagus still producing, peonies bursting, awaiting a watering later, welcome to the new week!
Evidence Found in the Garden…
Happy, Drier Saturday!
The Weather Horse reports dazzling rhododendrons in a light rain that is disappearing in brightening skies, very gentle breezes wafting across well soaked gardens, seeds spouting reaching for breaks in the clouds towards the coming sun, great eating on the far side of the barn, will need to go stealth with bugs also on their way, Happy Saturday!
Its Friday!
The Weather Horse edging the front gardens, with Rev, reports its Friday (!) with a light rain, heavy cloud cover, whispery winds removing the shavings from mane and tail, water buckets filled overnight, cool temps today with heavier rain expected to soak the growing greenery and wash away the bugs and pollen, have a great weekend!
Rev, Give it a Break
The Weather Horse reports annoyance by a certain black dog, otherwise a quiet, peaceful morning with a cool feel to the buggy air, high,hazy clouds, weak sunshine, blue sky to the West on its way, daisies in the pasture accompanying the buttercups and moist grass, the calm before the storm tomorrow, enjoy this gift of a day!
Neat Feet
Mowing the Front Lawn
The Weather Horse mowing the front lawn amidst buttercups, the poppies and irises spectacular in the gardens, brisk cool, bugless breeze blowing the tail in more moderate temps, blue skies, sedate crowing, the farrier (who had his mare bred to create Lancer) coming for a trim later this morning – Rev won’t believe how good the treats will be!
