It's hard to believe that this damp, bedraggled boy
is the very same little red horse who wore his bridle and harness so proudly yesterday.
Goodness, Red!
It's been raining here for the past day and a half,
and the horses are looking wet and filthy.
Rain doesn't seem to bother them in the least.
And, of course, wet hair makes dirt stick all the better...
so, the horses are all a mess.
It seems that everyone else has the better sense to stay in while it rains...
only venturing out when it slows down a bit...
to grab a bite to eat.
Notice our trees are starting to change color.
Tell me, when you look at Red's snout...
don't his nostrils look like little round mouse ears on top of a mouse head?
Do you see it?
Well, the rain has temporarily delayed Red's schooling.
I have been staying indoors and catching up on knitting...
making this little baby pumpkin hat for Halloween...
and tiny hair bows for a certain baby girl.
We need the rain, and goodness knows I have enough to keep me busy indoors for a few days!

Cute pumpkin hat
Aren't you having fun . . .
Folks in our area were wishing for rain, too, and it came last Thursday, and hasn't let up! We're now getting some flood warnings along the coastal and sound regions, and may be a walloping five to NINE inches by the end of the weekend (partly courtesy of TS Joaquin)!
Red is such a cutie, whether dry and groomed, or wet and muddy :) Glad to hear that his cart-pulling training is going so well!
