Hangin' in there

Had a yucky couple of days, details not necessary but not feeling good. So I didn't get a lot done, but that didn't stop me from taking photos. I did get down to Idaho; the smoke was so thick you could see it laying on the fields and the mountains were pretty much obscured. Apparently there are large fires in Washington State and that is just south and west of us. Even the mountains in our valley are barely visible, we really need a good rain to clear the air and help the firefighters. This is not a good photo but it gives you an idea of the air quality coming home from Idaho.
It may be fall, but summer is still hangin' in here. The horses are just barely starting to grow their winter hair, and there are very few geese on the move yet.
Nitro is here for a few more days, he's growing like a weed. He got his 5 way shot and dewormed so he is all ready for his new life.
I spent some time hangin' out with the mares tonight, and there was a pretty sky, so I tried some silhouette shots.

I'm ok with summer hangin' in there, I still have a lot to get done before freeze up. Guess I'd better get my spuds out of the garden this week, but I'm really hoping for more ripening time for the tomatoes.
I was too late to buy peaches to can- sold out at the fruit stands. Ah well- it's apple season! Applesauce coming up!

Hope you're feeling better!
The smoke is definitely hanging out here...glad that we're not on fire though!
My girls are hairing up pretty good now, and fall is finally in the air here.

Smoke is not good. I thought we were having fall here for a while, but the last week has had highs of 25ish in the day and only about 10* at night so seems so warm again. Although the horses have been growing air since Aug and are getting a little furry.

I like the silhouette shot, sure helps the sky is so pretty too. And love the new header too!

Get to feeling better quick!

Will be so sorry to see that handsome Nitro go. Keep an eye on him for me...who knows...he might need a new home in the future...And my circumstances will definitely be different. ;-)

He sure is growing,everything is ready for him on this end. Not to sure how I feel about having a youngster around...given they are always up to some kind of trouble...but dang they are cute!!!
