very bored cats!Today is one of those dreary, rainy days when you want to curl up with the cats, a hot cup of tea and read. Decided instead to bring the tea and the cats to the office and get down to blogging business since I have not updated after returning from Banff.
Sister is in sunny California and will be adding her trip info next week.
Fall in the mountains of Western North Carolina is perhaps my favorite season of the four and seems to invoke an influx of tourists to gaze on the beauty of the leaves. Never having been to the New England area in the Fall, I have no way of comparing, except to say that this is one of the most awesome sights on earth. Even in the rain, fog and gloom, today is beautiful.
Earlier in the week, the HONEY horse and I took two trail rides into the woods. One of our paths was by a lake where the water was clear with leaves floating on the surface and the trail was a bit of a swamp. Leaving the lake area to gallop up the hillside put us on dry ground, complete with crispy leaves. Honey is my second horse and both my horses have loved fall and prancing through the leaves. It seems the more noise Honey can make crunching those leaves, the more fun she is having. Not to mention, with a coolness in the air, she wants to run at warp speed. The scents of decaying leaves, fireplace smoke, and clean breezes add to the moment. Several times, Honey has to "call" to her friends back at the camp and most certainly is telling them what she is doing. Horses have their own "broadband" system which keeps them updated on their special contacts. More about Honey in a later posting.
