Fall is Howling In

2008-10-07T14:41:00.000-07:00

This wind is rocking all the tree tops that are surrounding me. I sit here and wonder if any of the trees are weak enough to give in and topple over. Hopefully, not today. I wanted to go riding today, however with the wind, I doubt it will be very fun. I think today will be just a day to let Muffin come graze in the yard and get a good brush down.
