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. 🙂

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.

There might be too much muckety muck along the “shoreline” to truly reflect “perfection,” but how many times could I use that rhyme in a blog-post title?!
And Sundance? Of course, he puts the perfect in perfection, so really, it IS truth in advertising!

The day after our full day of rain, we had some blue back in our sky. In other directions, the smoke was only too noticeable (it wasn’t missable, unfortunately), but coppery red Gaia against the blue sky with Temple Butte in the background is – smooch! – perfection!
