Something's Missing
Tuesday October 6 2009
It came like a freight train: winter!
Snow in the Owyhees.
Fairy ice crystals on the fence posts.
Steam from horse noses.
Frozen tumbleweeds.
Ice-laced leaves.
Steam rises from the mud and floats along the ground like leftover smoke from a forest fire.
Heat rises from the horses as the sun comes over the ridge.
We seem to have skipped over fall. For all you winter whiners, look out: my heat whining is over and my winter giddiness has begun. Bring it on!
