But Look...



Yesterday, a little after noon, Juanita and I grabbed a couple of towels and jumped on our horses bareback  for an hour or two in the national forest near the lodge.



After riding for a half hour or so, Ranger started campaigning for a picnic.

Look!  Grass!
Ahead!  On the left!
Say now, that looks nice!
ANY WHERE ALONG HERE.
He wasn't misbehaving or anything, just looking.  HARD.

When we got back home, he let me know that the trip was a complete waste of sweat, but I got a "head hug" anyway.

Next time I'll make sure I have a granola bar or can of sardines in my pocket, so we can stop.

Nobody likes to eat alone.

  1. Was in Boulder, looking at the mountains - could not believe how brown & dry... Still looks green up your way!

    1. Our little area has gotten about 8 inches of rain this month. We usually get about 2 1/2 inches in July.

      VERY HAPPY! (Last winter was about 25% of normal)

  2. Ranger has the cutest and most unique ears EVER!

    Have the ponds filled up after all your rain?

    1. It looks like early June around here! The ponds aren't full, but they do have water.


      Happy, happy frogs.

  4. I do adore the Ranger view. Those ears frame everything perfectly!

    That spot in the aspen grove was the best picnic area ever :)

  5. Green grass? No way? Tell me it isn't so? All we have here is dust. Ugh. Looks like another fine day.

I had to turn verification back on. Ten "spams" an hour is making me crazy...
