Lesser stallions, beware. Kwana is young … and studly. 🙂

Mighty Tenaz, golden and glowing in the late-evening sunshine.

The view, usual
10 07 2018
Terra, again, a couple of days after the below photo/post.
This photo illustrates our usual view: Sunshine in the basin and rain beyond the horizon (McKenna Peak and Temple Butte).
The clouds did eventually cover us that evening – it was the evening of the rainbow – and we got a teeny amount of raindrops. As evidenced by the swirly swish of that stunning tail, the wind preceded the rain by hours. 🙂

Appaloosa for a day
9 07 2018
Terra wanted to try on some spots, so she did it the mustang way: Mud splashes! 🙂
Each evening for the last three, Ma Nature has teased us with dark-to-the-east/southeast skies … then some stiff wind, then a few drippy sprinkles. Let me put it this way: Terra’s spots didn’t come from rain-created mud. The ground is basically dry before the sprinkles even stop.
This slow buildup is OK … as long as we eventually get something really, really wet … ?!

The blue we like
8 07 2018
Day after week after month after month after month … of blue skies does get old.
Kwana’s baby blues, however … never get old! 🙂

Rain, where art thou?
7 07 2018
Sweet Dolly Parton, I have two bones to pick with your lovely quote: “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
1) There’s the assumption there that rain is bad or something to be tolerated.
2) Really, you don’t have to have rain to have a rainbow.* Nearly never do we actually get rain with our rainbows in Disappointment Valley.
GIVE US THE RAIN! PLEASE! 🙂
* Somewhere, there must be rain, given the physics of rainbows. But rain doesn’t have to be falling on you. And, really, we would LOVE to have the rain. The rainbow is just sprinkles to the magic.

Gold and gold and gold

Better than saying gold and brown and brown. 🙂
Mother Nature tossed a few drops of wetness at us yesterday. We begged and cajoled and danced for more … but that’s all we got.
For now.

Minor fireworks

One drawback of day after day of hot, dry weather is the tendency to lose track of time and dates.
Happy belated Independence Day!
We certainly celebrate freedom on this blog. 🙂
