More fire

No where near my horses this time, but many of my friends are nearing evacuation over near Sun Valley where the worst fire in the nation is burning, the national guard has been called in.  Facebook is filled with images that make the fire here a few weeks ago look like child's play.
Rain, snow?

Really no words for this.

Risking sounding callus here, I worked on my tack-room last night!  I didn't ride because no one was around and I would rather not get on a young horse in a new place 13 miles from town with no one to handle a phone;)
And I cleaned tack

Impromptu saddle rack, real ones are tomorrow's project

Random carving I have yet to move out...maybe he should stay?

Great evening light
Sunflowers are always cheery

Spinning around

Time keeps flying by, but something this week made is come to a screeching halt.  No one was hurt and only a few outbuildings were lost, but we had a 1000 acre go ripping through the area.  Husband and I rushed out to our friend's place (which is incidentally where my horses are moving to shortly since my mom's place sold) to help with what we could.
On the way, her place is on the other side of all that smoke

Light smoke=weeds dark smoke=building

Incredible sunset


Firetrucks lined up
Woah, way to make one slow down and assess what is really important.  I did manage to daydream a bit and was thinking if my guys were there I could have saddled them both up and ridden/ponied off into the distance, old west style.  Here I had been obessing over a video I made of Aero where I seem jiggly and incompetent and suddenly it became the minor issue it actually is.  Yes, I can loose a few pounds.  Yes, it isn't the best riding, but he was being super difficult.  No, it is not the end of the world.


On the upside I love the music!

This evening I got some fun shots of Diva and Bridger in the setting sun, nice and relaxing
Nom Nom Nom

Still eating

Sleepy

Love this!
