It's Coming

It's coming! And faster than I can imagine. The signs are in the air.

90 days from fog is precipe. That puts the precipe in October. Hmmm, can you imagine what we'll get in October?!?!

60 days from the Kattydids signing is the first frost. That puts us into September!

It's the end of July and it's freezing. I was wearing a sweatshirt to do chores! How can that be?!?!?!

We had freezing cold rain this evening too. Poor Queen was shivering like crazy. She couldnt' get warm. Babe was just fine. I had to put a medium weight blanket on Queen tonight. I couldn't stand the thought of her standing out in the cold, shivering. So I rummaged around and found a half way clean blanket. It fit her pretty well. But it's the end of July... the END OF JULY and I'm having to blanket a horse?!?!?! What the heck is going on?

I let Bob out of the barn here tonight and the thermometer on the house said 59 degrees! WHAT!?! It's the END OF JULY!

Craziness. I think I better start preparing for a long, cold winter. Isn't that sad?! I'm thinking of winter at the END OF JULY!

Even the trees are starting to turn already. The fire bushes in front of the house are even starting to turn. Some of the trees on the way to work are starting to turn too. How can that be?!? It's the END OF JULY! It's supposed to be 90 degrees out during the day at 70 degress at night! How can it be in the upper 50s?

I don't get it. I guess maybe that's why I'm starting to panic. Or nest. Or call it whatever you want.

But it is the season. And I think other people are starting to think the same thing. I've been on CraigsList a lot here lately and I'm starting to see a bunch of people culling there horses. And for super cheap. Makes me sick to think of where they are going to end up. Wish I had more land, money, and training ability.

I best start preparing for a long winter and for possibly bringing in more horses, cuz IT'S COMING!
