My most favourite and most hated day of the year- June 20th.
Favourite – my amazing nephew was born on this day – my kindred spirit in the love for the equine species – a brilliant rider – trainer and amazing human – Happy Birthday Josh!!! Luv ya!!
The longest day of the year – 2109 and the sun has just set – the weather today has been quite odd- Mother Nature is having a serious hot flash with temps and humidity abound. While I love the summer – I hate the heat!!
Hated because – it’s all downhill and shorter days from here.
Coupled with severe thunder storm warnings and tornado watches – yikes!!!
Circumstances forced me back outdoors with having forgotten something in the barn moments ago.
As I glanced at the sky I had to take a moment to wonder in it’s brilliance of orange and red shining down and covering everything in this most amazing glow!!
Trees, grass, dirt, even horses had this orange tinge that made me smile.
And then it hit me – this moment – right now – this is truly Orange Acres!!
By the time I got back outside with my camera to take a picture to share – it had passed.
It was just for me – that one “click” in your life that only you see and can never “un-see”.
Welcome to Orange Acres – all are welcome- if we are here- we have cold drinks and stories – if not – wander around – careful that fence is live – check on my flocks and make sure Lucky, Madge and Ruth have cool water. If you see hay in the wheel barrow – toss it to my herd – they surely won’t mind.
Come back later and I’ll have fresh eggs.
