We are weary but unbroken; third rifle season is over for another year. Thank goodness.

Red-gold Gaia-girl in a golden land. Just nappin’ in a little breeze.
The days are warm again, though we have ice on the water troughs in the mornings! Rain would be much appreciated. Snow can’t be far behind. … We hope!

Lovely Mariah is ready for whatever winter throws at us this year. It’s supposed to be another bad one for our part of Colorado (“warmer and drier”), but the mustangs will take it in stride. At least our ponds are full!

Thank you, veterans, for your commitment and your service in support of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
From the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs:
Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
