…but a little better than in the midst of last night’s delirium.

This horse was a beautiful chestnut color yesterday afternoon—until it started watching the returns.

On my very long, head-clearing ride today I almost fell off the bike when a big red-tailed hawk swept close overhead and let out with its blood-curdling scream. Also came across several huge flocks of grackles gathering in prep for their journey south. Incessant chatter—these are sociable birds.
