Well I got there and Lu was there, so first I went out with her on Dot. The horseflies are something terrible out there. We walked on the lease roads cause the arena was wet and so were the stubble fields. The road ended and we decided to just ride in the grass between the crops, not thinking about the bugs. Its weird, there were a few mosquitos in the grass, but no horseflies. It was a nice change and I think the horses appreciated it too. On the way home, we thought we should take some pictures of each of us.
Oh and the lillies in my yard are blooming again, I forget how beautiful they are till I see them bloom again.
And I seen some Antelopes in the ditch the other day as well.

So that's the 'hat' I've been hearing about, very practical. Great shot of the pronghorns. We found one dead on the road north of the house yesterday. I think a vehicle must have hit it. Boy! I love those lilies of yours
Beautiful lilies! Hey what is the hatbrim made of? I see she uses a nose mask on her horse; some horses sure can go crazy with those little gnats in their noses.
Its just a gardeners hat she cuts the top out of and ties it to her helmet. And its not a nose mask, cause the flies can still get in, its pretty open on the sides, its to stop Sandy from eating, he was a trail horse and will pull you out of the saddle to graze if he doesnt wear that.
I might be sneaking a piece of that lily....it's beautiful.
Oooh! SO green there! I'm glad you were able to ride. I've not ridden since the horse camping trip. It's been so hot and dry....I'm a wuss and just hide in the shade and indoors with lots of cool drinks. The lilys are beautful!
And I love it when we see pronghorns. What a treat for you!
