Summer is starting its slow slide toward fall. Sunflowers are plentiful, adding bright snippets of color to our green basin. Of course, we think GREEN is a color to be celebrated, over the drab brown from before the monsoons came, but yellow is pretty nice, too!
Hayden and Maiku say their howdy-dos while Hayden’s band trots away in the background.
Pretty quickly after this, everyone then retreated to neutral territory, and grazing was resumed.
Green has a way of softening any landscape, does it not? We have been so blessed to have gotten enough rain to make our grasses grow, to fill our ponds and to keep our wild and beautiful horses happy and healthy. Corazon seems to have nothing to complain about! (The humans surely don’t!)

In other news, a mowing mishap took out the cable between my satellite Internet dish and my house, rendering me completely (and hopefully temporarily (!?)) without Internet. I had scheduled several blog posts for the time when my family was visiting (we had a great visit!), but all good things must come to a – hopefully temporary! – end (?!).
Thank you all for the comments this past week; I appreciate each comment and all of you, the lovers of Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs, who leave them!
In rain news, we got an astonishing INCH AND 16-HUNDREDTHS over a couple of days, a couple of days ago! I couldn’t record that to CoCoRaHS, let alone announce it here, until now. … We are still in celebration mode. 🙂
Thanks to “patron” wi fi at the Lone Cone Library in Norwood, Colorado, I’ve been able to check email and schedule blog posts, and hopefully (isn’t life built on hope?) Internet will return to normal very soon.
It’s a lot greener now, on Sept. 1, than it was on Maia’s May 1 birthday. We’re very glad for the here and now. 🙂
Storm the magnificent. Even rocking his bizarre mohawk, he’s such a studly stud.
My heart is full.
Sometimes you just need a friend to help you with an irksome itch. Temple and Madison have been best girlfriends for many years.
It doesn’t get much better than sitting in a wild expanse on a summer evening, surrounded by horses, listening to the squeak of grasses being snipped and chewed. Spirit keeps a close eye on me while she grazes next to Hollywood. (Check out his leg stripes!)
Raven and Terra nap on a sunny, mostly-blue-sky day in Spring Creek Basin. There’s still a hint of smoke in the sky, but it’s getting better all the time. 🙂
It’s our lifeblood, and it keeps us in the *green* of health!
This pic is from a week or so ago. We’ve had some blue-sky days again with smoke just on the edges.
A happy and cheerful bonus from the recent rains: sunflowers!
Corazon thinks so, too!
When any of the horses encounters one of the yellow-petaled beauties, they’re quick to eat them.
