Wordless Wednesday

Wanderings

The other evening I was out at my mother in law's house whom I refer to as Junebugg; and I noticed that the moon was coming up thru the clouds and smoke left over from a fire.  So being the shutterbug that I am, I unlocked the pick up and grabbed my camera.

This is the best one out of the 4 that I took;  and yeah LeftBrain said it looked like the Sun.....but he wasn't there when I took it!  I hope you enjoy the photo.

Wordless Wednesday

Chillaxin'

And just when you thought you might need warmer clothing.....the weather turns warm again! 

Cooling Weather

When I woke this morning, I found clouds.  I also felt the coolness of the morning air crisp upon my face and neck, and wondering if I should head to the barn and locate my warmer clothes.  Not long ago we were experiencing warm weather, along with unseasonably warm winds, days and nights that did not drop down from 62 at night.

Now I don't know about my readers, but I prefer a cooler room in which to sleep at night.  It makes for a more comfortable sleep; which is what I'm lacking right now.
I look forward to cooler days, and golden sunsets and the first harvest moon. 

The feeling of a new day washed clean from an overnight rain, the smell of mulling cider steeping in the teapot and wearing a favorite long sleeved shirt to chase the chill from my arms.  The prospect of seeing old friendships renewed again with a simple phone call or a good cup of coffee. 

Autumn is my favorite time of year.

Rodeo Rags

I can understand how most gals would want to look good for the rodeo; heck I even tried to brush off as much barn dust as possible!  But, there are certain things a person might want to take into consideration......namely how tight are my jeans? Will I be able to sit, walk or drive comfortably in said pair of jeans??? 

 When I walk by folks are they going to think my jeans are a pretty color or will they wonder how I even got the jeans on??  I can attest that this gal never took these things into consideration because all night long she stood! I never once saw her sit down......well not comfortably anyway.  And watching her walk was almost comical; because I'm pretty sure she couldn't even stand upright.

These days I'm glad that I've grown used to my body shape and the jeans I will never wear again even for the sake of fashion.

Road Trip Part 2

We went to Nevada to visit friends; on our way home we found these little guys & gals grazing just off the road side. They held still long enough to take a couple of pictures.. I just love the ears on the middle one. 

 Then further down the road in Oregon we found range cows; the bronze colored one she had a belly full of flies following her as she walked down the road.  But as much as I tried to sweet talk her over for a pretzel she just kept walking.  The guyin the last picture decided it was safer to stay on the side of the road and pretzels be danged; he wasn't having none of it!  Maybe if I had offered water he would have come closer.  Needless to say, we had a great time and enjoyed our visit.  Now we are looking forward to another visit....perhaps in the spring when the salmon are running. 

Heading South

Well it's that time of year for the Dodgeman and I to head south and hoping to find these little gems standing around the road sides and in the road so I can take their  pictures. I'm pretty sure none of them will be flaring their nostrils at me like Alan would over at The 7MSN; but one can't help the fact that these little guys and gals are just too cute not to fawn over!!   Ah Labor Day weekend......so looking forward to it.
