We had a break in the heat yesterday and then last night the 50s felt downright cold!<br /><br />I love when I pat the donkeys and little clouds of dust float up. It's like fly repellent going backwards.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-30250785037865298232011-06-04T20:42:15.668-05:002011-06-04T20:42:15.668-05:00billie - we had a day last week when I saw my brea...billie - we had a day last week when I saw my breath in the air first thing in the morning. We then had a sweltering day where the humans looked blotchy and wilted and donkeys didn't so much as break a perspiration. What a strange climate. Dust remains our first and only choice of cleansing and cooling material, no matter the weather. Water is simply too --- wet.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-84793923510429021572011-06-01T13:41:51.703-05:002011-06-01T13:41:51.703-05:00I know - they were lined up perfectly in order to...I know - they were lined up perfectly in order to fit! :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-89687383905313558682011-06-01T13:30:56.006-05:002011-06-01T13:30:56.006-05:00This heat is horrible.

But you're right no to ride when it's so hot. I never do if it's over 90 or if the humidity is up there. I actually woke up the other day looked out at the humidity fog and thought to myself, I'm sure glad we're not showing anymore. I used to hate those three day shows in the summer.<br /><br />Funny about Keil helping to cool you off and then all of them cramming like sardines into the one stall.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-45214438738834755262011-06-01T13:30:48.340-05:002011-06-01T13:30:48.340-05:00Believe me, it was more than a splash - it was a c...Believe me, it was more than a splash - it was a complete soaking that lasted about 20 seconds.
