Velvet readiness

3 10 2024

Kestrel, in addition to making sure I am where I am and not anywhere else (!), is showing off her velveting (or is that velveteen? :)) coat. The days are still semi-unpleasantly warm with few clouds to block the shine of the sun or its heat, though the getting-longer-all-the-time nights cool off excellently. All of that means the mustangs are growing their fluffy coats for the coming season (which seems far away when daytime temps are near 90 … in September!).

Days are getting shorter, coats are getting longer, and before long, these glorious days of autumn will be the memory of another year past. Enjoy the moments.

It does seem way too hot for those ponies to be breaking out their winter coats! But the nights and early mornings are very chilly so they know what they’re doing. 😁 And you’re right, TJ; autumn’s glorious days will soon be just memories.
