Black and white and green and golden

4 09 2021

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.





May day memories

1 09 2021

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. 🙂





That horse, that landscape

Storm the magnificent. Even rocking his bizarre mohawk, he’s such a studly stud.

My heart is full.





Bestie girls

Sometimes you just need a friend to help you with an irksome itch. Temple and Madison have been best girlfriends for many years.





Goodly grazing

29 08 2021

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!)





Under the peak

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. 🙂





An ode to rain

27 08 2021

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.





Dessert

26 08 2021

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.





I see you

25 08 2021

You’re impossible to ignore, gorgeous. 🙂





Reflection perfection

24 08 2021

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!
