I’d like to say that Temple was just contemplating the bounty of the recent rains and the continuing benefit of being able to drink from a pond and not slurp from a seep. … But really, she was just watching her band members on the far side of the pond while she and two other band members drank from this side of the pond.
After a morning of drizzles, the sky cleared to that perfect Colorado-blue, then started to cloud up again ahead of overnight rain. Gotta love it – and we do!

Love seeing that water, TJ! And Temple is always a welcome sight. 🥰 Glad you and the ponies are getting rain too! Better really, really late than never on the monsoon moisture.
I keep trying to think “better late than never” … but why couldn’t we have gotten all this amazing rain earlier in the year, spread throughout the year?! 🙂 It’s been raining – light but steady – for hours. Everything is flooding. If I don’t see full ponds and water-catchment troughs on my next trip to the basin (which might be a while as I’m sure Spring Creek is RAGING), I’m gonna have some words with Ma Nature! (Like she’ll listen. :))
So glad for the rain! Temple is one pretty gal!
We’re getting the year’s rain total in one go. I’m not sure which hurricane or tropical storm finally did it for us, but thank you! (And terribly sorry about any devastation on the way to our godsend. :/)

It really was a particularly peaceful, beautiful evening. 🙂
I just live how they takes things in stride and are always in the moment. we could learn a lot from them 🙂

Yes! We most definitely could learn SO much from the mustangs and other wild critters and vegetation. Some people are attuned to those lessons; some, sadly, ignore them.
Speaking of “taking things in stride,” I was watching a mustang negotiate deep mud and the careful way she slipped toe-first into the mud as she walked, not galumphing along in the most difficult way, as I/human tend to do. … We can, indeed, learn a lot from them. 🙂
