Horses always get out.
And once out, they love the game of “Catch the Horsey” much more than you do.

Dusk Coming Faster and Faster — Monday, October 25, 2021
Gone is the time when the days of Summer seem endless
The dark of the night is coming swifter and faster and lasting longer and longer
Still, the days offer amazing delights —sweet little eye-candy treats
The heartbeat of our bird friends on the farm, gifting us with bits and pieces of their lives.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
As the Breeze Whispered through the Corn —- Sunday, October 24, 2021
Terry went out to check the drying down corn
Just to get an idea where the moisture content is
19% it has to dry more…down to 14% or lower.
We continue to wait.

Rain Smudged Our World — Thursday, October 21, 2021
Over night the rain came
Bringing with it much cooler weather
And softened lovely earth, that dried very quickly.

In a Spray of Glimmering Stars — Wednesday, October 20, 2021
The lovely, lovely moon
Broke through the thick and heavy clouds
Lighting our world in silver moon dust.
Oh, how I love the full moon and how the earth turns into a magic fairyland of light.

In the Sharp Brilliant Autumn Sunshine —- Tuesday, October 19, 2021
TLC Cai-Cai and I went out to check the drying down of the corn
Still spots of green…still drying down.

Under a Cloud —- Monday, October 18, 2021
One morning we were covered in a very large cloud
The sun shining on the edges of our horizon
It was just one cloud, but oh, my was it a huge cloud!

My Garden is Gone —-Sunday, October 17, 2021
The elusive feel of Summer is over…until next year
Our woodstove providing all the heat for our old bones
The lovely warmth (even HOT) of that special time (Summer)
Now only a memory as we move into that space just before —-W.

I ALWAYS Love a Rainbow —- Thursday, October 14, 2021
Hi Linda
I hope you’re getting some well-earned rest after the hay marathon. If we were neighbours, I’d be coming in for a couple bales myself, to feed my forthcoming little flock when the weather’s a bit too dry for good forage.
I’m sending you two photos. The first is a rainbow directly in the East, an unusually fiery one. We currently have loads of black clouds hanging over us; it’s 27°C/80°F at nearly 7pm, and the humidity’s at about 75%. No rain, but plenty of water in the air! Directly in the west is one of our ‘Queensland Special’ sunsets, all garish colour and lots of it. Part of the reason the rainbow looks so red!
Kate
Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU ever so much!

Before the Black Clouds and the Freezing Temperatures, Wednesday, October 13, 2021
And just before Terry went into for his hernia operation
We winterized the corvette. 🙂
