The rains came and went,

and the sun came out again...

Blue skies and temperatures in the high seventies,

with cool nights...a hint of autumn is in the air.j

The horses love their afternoons on pasture...

but readily come running when I enter the dry lot clapping my hands for them.

A little hay and a peppermint treat awaits them...

in a matter of seconds the Bigs are all back into the dry lot.

The Littles, however, are much more coy,

and take a bit of coaxing to get them in.

Shaking a bag of Quaker Oatmeal cereal squares helps,

but they generally take their good ole time!

On another subject....

I have spent so much of the time these past couple of weeks talking about

Roosters Number 5 and 6.

Today I want to show you Rooster Number 1.

He is one of my most handsome roosters,

who spends his days with his fellow Roos...

lately hanging around the outside of the "youngins'" house

leering like lecherous old men

just waiting for the "youngins" to mature.

PS....
The rainy weekend gave me a chance to sew another
1940's style apron.

You can see it HERE!
