Winter is coming.

(And body clips, and quarter sheets, and riding in the dark, and hot chocolate, and audiobooks, and gloves and beanies and blanketing and barn jackets)

I’ve been trying to ignore the fact that I’m losing a minute of daylight every few days. Labor Day weekend is fast approaching and with it, the end of summer. Autumn means earlier sunsets and eventually the dreaded turning back of the clocks. I’m trying not to think about it, but my mare’s new winter turn-out sheet arrived yesterday and I know that soon I’ll be spending my evenings wondering if that reflective pair of eyes was the barn cat or a raccoon. Time to wash the quarter-sheets, prepare for pumpkin-spice everything, send the clipper blades in for sharpening and to dream up the perfect bit of booty-art for this winter.
