From summer cottons into winter wools

“The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools.” ~Henry Beston
We had a good summer at Morning Bray Farm.
The herd loves their new farrier. Pedicures long ago stopped being an inconvenience for Ellsworth:
Grace did extremely well with her first pedicures this summer:
We had the occasional peeping Moo:
We enjoyed many beautiful early mornings:
…and the summer storms fondly remembered from my youth:
I had the gardens I’ve always dreamed of:
And, now…
“It is a delightful pastime to sit in the pleasant sunshine of autumn, and gazing from this little spot of free earth over such a landscape, let the imagination luxuriate amid the thrilling associations of the scene!” ~H.T. Tuckerman, San Marino
We hope all is well in your world. ♥

Gettin’ artsy

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
~Aristotle
As you know, it’s been cold here these last few weeks. The Boyz have all been fine, but to help keep weight on Gracie and Harriet, we’ve supplemented their hay with equine senior mash a couple of times a day.
Gracie gets two cups and Harriet gets three. It’s easy enough to tell whose bowl is whose by how much is in it, but Don decided to get artsy for the girls.
Pretty bowls for pretty girls. Sunflowers for Grace (Don prefers calling her by her original name) and hearts for Harriet.
Don also thought he’d try his hand at ice sculpting:
We’re ready for spring.
