Ride 46: a New Neigh-bor

[judifilksign]

 Went out at half-past eight.  The temperature was only 82, but the humidity was so high, I felt soaked before I got down the block.  I only went to the first road, because the ride just took the starch right out of me.

The park folks had mowed one lawnmower's width on either side of the path, and the scent of new-mown grass was nearly overwhelming, and snuffled me up and made my eyes itch.  Grasshoppers, previously seen within the grass but quiet, now flew away from me in alarm as I passed them in the grass.  Birds of all types waited for this moment, and swept out of the sky to grab them mid-air.  Nice to know I do more for the birds than freak them out.

Passing my neighbors, I noted they now have a new horse, a paint.  He's a beautiful gelding, with a blond mane, but black bangs, and a tail that is blond on top, and black at the bottom.  His coat is white with large brown patches.

I will have to set strict rules and limits with Sparkle about staying out of his pasture unless specifically invited in by the adults, under supervision.

That sounds like a beautiful horse.
