Desert Horses

Welcome to my horse blog, Desert Horses. We live in the desert southwest, near Palm Springs, CA, but board our horses up in our local mountains where it is cooler in the summer. I have 4 horses, all rescues. Here is the ranch up the mountains where the horses stay.

August 1st

Today is August 1st, which means another July is behind us.   PHEW!    This one was HOT and NASTY!   I'm glad she is GONE!!!!!

I now have daily visits from the Cooper's hawk or hawks.   We aren't sure if it is the same one or different ones.   I know there are at least 3 of them in the neighborhood...a mama and 2 juveniles.   Our neighbor says he has counted 5 of them!   So, who knows?

The Cranston fire is now 86% contained, as of yesterday afternoon, and some areas of the mountains got RAIN yesterday.   The news stations haven't been issued as update, but that is encouraging.

Anza is getting electricity 4 hours a day.   They were completely without it for 3 days.   NOBODY is allowed to turn on their air conditioner, however.   That would overtax the temporary system which the power company had to rig because some of their lines were burned in the fire.  The horses have water and the ranch owner's freezer kept her food frozen, so that's all good news.

Life goes on...
