It was getting late when I finally brought the mares up from the front pasture. I brought Maggie up last. The sun had set, but there was still a bit of light coming from the western horizon. I thought it was getting too dark, but decided to saddle her up anyway. It was perfect!
Hubby had gone next door to sit around the fire with the neighbor guy. I thought I'd ride Maggie over to visit, too. Of course, Sadie had to tag along.
We rode in the long shadows down the lane. After crossing the creek and turning toward the field between our houses, I looked up to behold the most magnificent October sky! The background was deep slate gray, with a touch of gold trimming the black clouds. The moon peeked out between the clouds in stripes. It looked like a backdrop for an animated Halloween movie.
