Rainy, gusting wind, warm and mild (for November), the leaves are goners. The warm, strong breeze and the sustained misting rain really brought them down. The trees are getting ready for winter, dropping dried-out, dirty summer clothes, storing provisions in their cellars for the long, cold sleep.
Better to dry this muddy place out with this windy day. Brought them in to feed, didn't let them back out all night. Too muddy, don't want them tearing things up anymore than they already will.
The little ones always stay in from when we feed until morning. Both of them were soaking wet AND had rolled, many times, in the stone dust. It made them smell like gun powder. I tried scrapping the dust off of them, but they took their time drying out. The rake I used had wet dust scum on it - yuck! No white was showing on either of them. They looked awful, like they had rolled in a coal chute. Note to self: get some Ezall total body wash.
Tom worked on the lighting project - coming along, looks great! Pulling wire, installing fixtures. The boys were dozing in their stalls. We can't be there to entertain them all the time!
