Memorial Day
27 05 2019
This weekend, we have celebrated the holiday that has the somber tones of memories of those who fought for this country and did not return home to families and loved ones.
These days, almost everyone knows someone who serves or has served in the military. That means we probably know someone who didn’t come home, or we know someone who knows someone – or even many someones.
The best way we can honor them is to remember.

Little bitty dirty boy

When the weather turns warmer and the wind (!) isn’t keeping the gnats away, wild ponies head to the spa. (The wind has been ferocious the last couple of days, and I’ve still been swatting at my face under the brim of my visor.)

Spring slick

Mr. Slick is shiny! Tenaz is sleek and ready for warm weather (which is coming … after some more cold nights!).

Always watching

Don’t let his apparently relaxed, grazing demeanor fool you. Comanche is ever alert to all that happens within proximity of his band. 🙂

Modeling spring skies

Our skies have looked a lot like this lately. Our ground is damp, and our horses are lovely. 🙂

Green – and black and white
22 05 2019
We’re getting rain. It took a while for our world to green up this spring, but I think it’s safe to say we’re getting greener. 🙂

Marona

Not sure how I managed to forget this one with yesterday’s post, but sweet Marona deserves her own post anyway. 🙂

Dedication
20 05 2019Family members and friends of Pati Temple drove into Disappointment Valley yesterday to celebrate a woman who changed all our lives for the better. To her, we dedicated the now-officially named Temple Butte.
David Temple led the ceremony with Marona, the first mustang he and Pati adopted. She’s a Spring Creek Basin native. 🙂 Pati’s sister Marcie is in the striped jacket, and long-time family friend Mark is in the yellow jacket.
Long-time friend Sara Staber (in blue) speaks about Pati, telling the story about how Pati successfully fought to return Traveler to Spring Creek Basin after he was removed during the 2007 roundup.
Kat Wilder talked about the impact Pati had on her … though she never met Pati.
Former San Miguel County Commissioner Art Goodtimes served with Pati years ago on BLM Colorado’s Southwest District RAC. He spoke about how she inspired everyone with her passion for public lands. She was Art’s introduction to the mustangs of Spring Creek Basin.
(Note: Temple Butte is in San Miguel County. It’s just outside Spring Creek Basin Herd Management Area, which straddles San Miguel and Dolores counties.)
Marona, about 21 years old, loved the attention.
The feelings were mutual. 🙂
Our sincere thanks to everyone who came from far and wide to honor Pati Temple and her dedication to Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs!
