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!

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.

An Extra Day to Enjoy!

pastoral

The Weather Horse is slightly wet from pitter pattering intermittent rain fall, bright overcast with occasional leakage, mowing seems doubtful, ragweeds are towering threatening seeding for next year, some trees showing a  faint change of hue, ponds are cooling but still quite swimable (especially with a great rope swing!), the weekend providing an extra day to enjoy our sweet summer.

Comes around again…

with dogs

The Weather Horse reports a Friday pestered by dogs, overcast and misty start – burning off slowly on the hill, crickets chirping with the sounds of Summer, tomatoes ripening, woodpile drying, a sweet circle back in time – only to come around again in a slightly different form, ever passing time bringing on a new day.

Light Rain…

grazing wet

The Weather Horse reports light rain, bad hair day, quiet crow over the field, misty fog rolling around in very light winds, dripping clover under thriving ragweed, full rain buckets overflowing, hovering moisture blanketing the morning and shining the horse’s hoofs.

Summer Rolls Along

long shadows

The Weather Horse and Rev with long morning shadows hanging out by the new fence – buck, buck, buck is in the works, new crop of lettuce transplanted out – may be a little late with that, mostly sunny and humid, choruses of crickets, annuals peaking in their pots, summer rolls along its glorious path nearing the fall destination and busier times.

Have a Great Weekend!

wake up

The Weather Horse and Rev waking up on Friday to a partly to mostly painted cloud sky, another warm day with changes coming, hunting cat overnight now sleeping in the bathroom sink, Johnnie tending a cut on Rev with absessive attention, Fritz Dreaming in Ashburnham this weekend while a longtime project is coming to a close on the North Shore, have a great Friday, Saturday and Sunday, see you next week!
