Horsing Around

It may be remembered that in the past The Fuzz and His Sweetie have kept an eye on a friend's horses (and cat) while she was out of town.

Actually this is a mutually beneficial araingement.  This friend was the one who took care of The Fuzz and His Sweetie's critters whilst they were down on the coast for a month!

  Well, it was her turn to take off for a few days, and The Fuzz was happy to return the favor.

However, His Sweetie would be out of town herself at an other event.  So Our Fuzz would be without transportation, other than his 2 feets.

But, not really a problem.

Her place was only perhaps a mile away- and a pleasant walk at that.

The 1st morning turned out to be a bit wet with a good bit of rain during the night.  But it did slack off in time for the morning walk.

There were still a lot of heavy clouds a bit of drizzle and a good chance of more rain.

A bit of fog was hanging in the low places as he walked over.

This place seems kinda picturesque at first sight, but can be a little creepy on a closer examination.  But this is not the place to go into that today.

Here's another off across a field.

It never did fain hard enough to wet Our Fuzz up.  He had a rather pleasant walk.  By the time he got there it looked like the rain might even quit.

Once in the barn, he got shed of his raincoat.

He had brought his morning cup-o-joe with him.  The stick is mostly a dog repellent- at least this time.

The "Boys" as she calls them were glad to see The Fuzz.

This big guy is Samson.

The Fuzz doesn't know all that much about these guys, but he's some kind of draft horse and huge.

Everything went fine.  Everybody (including the cat) had their breakfast, and it was time to cut a trail for home- and The Fuzz's own breakfast.

By now the neighbor's goats were out and frisking around.

As were a few other critters.

This kitty...

...a mocking bird...

...who posed for The Fuzz in a pine tree.

The rain had quit for the moment...

But there were still some drops hanging onto the needles.

The Fuzz took a closer look.

If you look even closer, you can see the image of the tree in the drop.

Pretty cool.

Then it was time to head back into the woods, and home.
