which_chickOn Saturday, we went up to ride Sweep at the state 4H competitive ride, which was fine. Mostly I'm mentioning this because I got a picture I've been wanting for several years.
See, some years ago I took Callie, project horse for the year (since sold) up to the competitive ride to do sweep. The sweep riders gather up the neon orange ribbons (on clothespins) and clip them to a bindertwine tied around the horse's neck. It makes like a lion's mane when you're done and this shows up really well on a bay horse like Callie was. I did not get a picture of Callie (actually Callisto) with her mane of neon orange ribbons and I kind of regretted that, mentioned it here.
But, this year Laur took Peake up and Peake (like Callie) is a bay mare with a white star (like Callie) and so... I got a picture of Peake. Here it is, so that you can see what a nice visual it makes.
Been making a lot of tart for Lala since the winesaps are in season, one per weekend day. (Tarte tatin, it's allegedly french for Burnt Apples With Butter Pastry or similar. Super easy to make, super delicious hot or cold.)
Frost is on thepumpkin burdock. First of the year on Sunday morning.
And also here's a Sunday picture of Finn:
