Catching the evening show

It rained all afternoon and evening yesterday. I enjoyed our weekly day of rest even more in the knowledge that I was getting more grace for weeding. This morning after my guys took off (and ended up being gone all day!), I bent my back to the task. Chuckie 'helped,' jumping in my lap, jumping on my back, attacking my legs, and batting at my weed poker.






I also finished a big filing job I'd started weeks (months?) ago. Now the piles of paper that were all over my office floor are in order in a banker's box.

During supper, an impressive thunderhead towered over a partial rainbow. Once everything was cleaned up and put away, I headed to the barn to get Lance out for an evening ride. Colorful clouds surrounded us on all sides while we warmed up in the arena,





so we hurried up the driveway and gravel road to get a better view of the western sky, snapping photos along the way. There's nothing better than a good sunset on horseback!



I hope you clicked on those to biggify them; the clouds are just amazing.

That's it for now from . . .

You have the most interesting clouds on your side of the country. Here they just cover the area in a big gray blanket with little beginning or end.

That Chuckie - he sure is a people person always craving attention. He might be less excessive in his response to people if he was an indoor cat. Too bad he doesn't understand about Kitty Litter. What you need out side is a cat that is aloof and more interested in this 'territory' rather than his 'people.' You know, a TYPICAL cat! Except that most of my cats were not typical either. Ha!

Elaine, we do get our share of flat, gray skies – but what's the fun in sharing those? ;-)

The pic showing your deck boards looks just like ours this morning. Too bad it's cool and wet as it will ruin plans for any outdoor Memorial Day picnics!

That Chuckie! With help like that . . . your task must have taken twice as long. ;o)

Absolutely beautiful skies! And to see them on horseback - the next best thing to heaven. Ah, Chuckie. He is such a character - and it's nice to see his sassy self back. xo
