#NPCommPix - Day 2: Gratitude
Day 2 of #NPCommPix is Gratitude.
Well, I'll call it grateful. I am grateful for healthy horses (knock on wood), and a beautiful Sanctuary where the horses have the freedom to be horses.
I am also grateful for all our supporters but I didn't have a picture of them. :-)

Wind Chill
I just hopped on to our local news website and for some reason, the first thing I saw was the wind chill. I am SO not ready for winter and dealing with wind chills. My mind really must be on winter already.
Lets hope that we have an open winter and that it's tolerable to handle. I sure hope the Farmers Almanac is wrong.
Although, the horses are already starting to fur up. Jim was the first to start getting wooly. Rain will be the last (he doesn't put a decent winter coat on).

Wet and Cold
For sure fall is here. From our weatherman:
Look for a chilly start to Friday with windy weather expected. The winds Friday should be from the northwest at 20-40 mph. Highs will only be in the upper 40s in eastern KELOLAND. Saturday still looks chilly with highs in the lower 50s east.
We are getting rain right now and are expected to get anywhere from .25 to .50 inches of rain. I'm sure we need it, I'll never disagree to that. But with the cooler temperatures, the horses are cold. Some of the horses are trying to crowd into the leanto off the barn. I was inside working already when the rain started but I'm figuring Bo, Ivan, Brego, and Jim are standing outside (and maybe one or two others). We DESPERATELY need to get the roof back on the other leanto so that everyone has a place to go to get out of the wet and cold.
Depending on how long this rain lasts, I may be putting horses in the barn tonight (or even later today depending on how everyone is looking). I love fall but I hate a wet fall, it makes life so much more difficult. I guess it's all in preparation for winter. But it's oh so hard on the horses.

#NPCommPix - Day 1: You
The first day of the #NPCommPix Challenge is "You". I chose the following:
When I think of me, I think of those two guys. So, that's the happy two-legged family of the Sanctuary
