I used to eat candy corn. Still think it's cool as a decoration but I don't eat any candy now days. Didn't know that about Indian Summer. We're having a mini one now with 80F yesterday and 85F today. Unusually high for October though.

Here's a pic of the new kid's camp horse. It's the best I could get since I'm usually there when it's getting dark and/or raining. She's a cutie with huge doe eyes. So far she's been friendly and respectful but a bit cautious in her new surroundings. Of course my paso doesn't like her at all. At first he gave her the works--chasing, nipping, threatening to kick, etc. Now he's down to mostly just the snakey neck and flat ears. It's so funny because normally he's the one on the bottom or close to it. Hey, he might be old but he can still push girls around--lol! What a tough guy. :rolleyes:

1. Candy corn is a bit too sweet for my taste.
2. Indian summer according to my wife who is part Native American is a warm stretch after the first frost.
3. Supper will be Ham and Beans with cast iron skillet cornbread. Ohhh, my favorite.
4. The weather has really cooled off. Today the high is to be 60* but, I don't think it will make it. 5. This morning I went to the trails at Hillsdale State Park and met our very own @charrorider and his wife and we had a great ride together. It was a lot of fun to finally meet him and his wife. Great people!

1. I love candy corn!! Kinda reminds me of crayons though.. LOL.

2. I never even heard of Indian summer!

3. Oooh interesting!!

4. I’ve been making fall themed dinners lately. One of my favorites Is cutting an acorn squash in half and putting rice, sausage, and cheese and then baking it.. it’s the best thing EVER!! I’ve made it like once a week so far.

5. Weather has been ok. It’s been warm ish lately, today was 80°..yuck.
Early next weeks high will be in the low 60°s! Then by the end of the week it’ll be 80°.

6. Just came in from a ride. Tomorrow I work early morning to late afternoon and I am so tired! This week has kicked me in the butt again. Just a lot of stress and so much going on that I’m overwhelmed. Been having migraine issues again and I re injured my knee again so I’m walking with a limp.


Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend and week ahead!

Happy soggy Saturday!

Our weather is awful! We've been upgraded to an amber warning for heavy rain for the next two days. Plus there's a strong wind and the temperature has dropped to 10C.

I visited the yard this morning but didn't ride. A few minutes out in it and I was soaked even with head to toe waterproofs. Our fields are flooding and a number of roads were closed by the time I headed back.

It'll be a day for the house. I've made a large pot of soup and started the laundry. Plans for the rest of the day: reading, drawing (new sketch pens, pencils and watercolours) and watching Scotland play Ireland at the rugby world cup.

@Caledonian that is our 50°F. I can handle that when it’s dry, but not under the conditions you describe - yikes!

@JCnGrace, JC sure was a handsome horse, and a tall horse it looks like😍😍. Was he a liver chestnut?

I think your nice garden rain was what we had yesterday, for a few hours in the morning. It was a nice, quiet rain; quiet enough that Duncan what is content to stay in it and graze.

it is 44°F this morning. That’s the coldest it’s been since the beginning of May in the morning. Tomorrow morning is only supposed to be 40°F. Heated tubs have been checked for shorts. I will turn them on tonight and see if they still heat, because they’re getting up there in years. If I think they’re three or four years old, that means they’re older than that lol.

I took this picture this morning of Rusty and Duncan. Duncan is laying in the sun just enjoying the weather. It’s a great day to be a horse today! Yes, we’re still pretty green, we’re pretty far south. The garden rain we had yesterday, the warm up today has helped to keep us green for a little while longer.

@walkinthewalk - Crivens! It's really wet! What a day! Another to go, amber and yellow warnings stay in place.

Widespread flooding over huge areas of the country; roads into major towns all closed; people trapped when burns and rivers broke their banks; fire brigade and coastguard helping the stranded thanks to flooding and numerous landslides (hills are covered in them); trains and buses off and everyone else told not to travel.

I'm at the top of a hill so okay but the roads around me are closed. I think I read three weeks of rain in a day.

Our weather forecast and photos of the flooding and landslides, videos of poor cow stuck in a burn (hope they got it out, the guy seemed a bit handless) in the highlands, and round hay bales skelping past Inverary Castle into an angry Sea Loch Fyne (a farmer's fields have been wiped out!); and the coastguard.

Amber rain warning extended for north and east of Scotland
