I took this photo of our blind horses grazing this morning — though there's really not much to graze any longer, and turn-out these days is mostly for exercise rather than nutrition. As you can see, the leaves are all gone, the apples have (mostly) all dropped, and it's getting that "winter-ish" look out there. But back at the ranch in Montana, it was 8° below zero (-22° C) Tuesday night, and when I spoke Wednesday morning with our friend Cindy J. from Ovando, she told me they already had 8 to 10 inches of snow. She sighed and said, "we won't see bare ground again until spring." The forecast for Friday night in Ovando is 3°(-16° C) and for Saturday night is 0°(-18° C). Now that's "fall" weather we don't miss much — nor do the animals!
