Scout's turn

Watch the ears on all of these photos!  They tell the story.  We begin with Cali being led away from Scout.  Of course, that meant that Cali got to eat the morning's alfalfa.  Scout's ears go back immediately!  "MOM, she's eating MY breakfast!".  She wasn't bad for the farrier...but I watched her ears the entire time and she wasn't happy.  AT ALL!  And, guess where she headed when she was done?  YUP...back to breakfast!

Cloudburst~SkyWatch Friday~110912

This was my view while driving home from work yesterday.  I love it when a storm moves into the desert and we have a change from our clear, blue skies!  SkyWatch Friday for November 9, 2012.  To visit SWF, please go to:   http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Cali's turn

It was Cali's turn after Quad and she did very well, too.  She hardly moved a muscle!  Scout? er...that's a story for another day!

Hey, mom~Look at me! (Quad)

The herd got another trim on Saturday and Quad, as usual, was a good boy!  "Ho-hum"...."Been there, done that~"  He nearly fell asleep!  :-)  ALL of them were good.  And Sunni?  He stood absolutely STILL and didn't move an inch!  WOW!  What a difference!  I had to hold him, so I didn't get any photos and I wasn't about to move or make ANY noise!  The first time he had a snit fit, but that was a couple of years ago.  Solomon walks quietly, talks quietly, and relaxes the horses.  I LOVE my farrier!

Fall fence~Friday's Fences~110212

I was driving around Garner Valley a couple of weeks ago and spotted this gate up there at one of the ranches.  Quite festive, eh?  Friday's Fences for November 2, 2012.  To visit Friday's Fences, and see other entries, please go to:    http://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.com/

A view of the windmills

There are only a couple of spots where I can look down and see the Palm Springs area windmills.  There's one brief glance from the road (you can see the road in the top photo), but it is very fleeting.  So, last weekend, I pulled off the road and did a little traveling up a road to some homes which look over the Coachella Valley called Spring Crest.  One can drive up the paved roads there and get a good look at the valley floor below.  And, on a clear day, you can almost see forever!

Desert pass

This is the mountain pass by Palm Springs, California.  I was looking down at it from Vista Point, which is a large turnout area up on Highway 74.  This pass frequently fills up with fog and clouds, like on this day.  While the desert may be clear, nearby areas like Banning, Beaumont, Yucaipa, Redlands, and Riverside.
