Staying Cool

Beach Son Kyle and his family just left on the last leg of their five week cross country trip so I'm able to post regularly again. "Meanwhile, back at the ranch..."

We continue to be under a heat advisory with temperatures in the 90s and heat indices up to 105.

Tim is out of town and so I am the one in charge of daily checks and making sure the horses have plenty of fresh water.

I love to watch horses drink - their ears tip back and forth as they swallow.


See anything floating in that trough? (Beside some grasses and leaves.)  I accidentally dropped an apple into it when feeding it to Abby. 


She and Hokey both played bobbing for apples while they tried to catch it. Finally I reached in and grabbed it for them.


Sultanna in her beautiful palomino-ness.


The forecast is for the high temperatures and heat indices to continue though the weekend. It's been over a week, and we need cooler temps desperately. 


With a bucket of apples from the ancient apple tree out in the pasture, we may be playing some more bobbing for apples, just to keep cool!
