September 16: Snow in September!

Saturday, September 16, 2006

I got my ticket home this morning. 

I went on a ride to Cowboy Cabin. It was cold and windy. On the way back, we all put on our slickers because they helped keep in the heat. Mine dragged the ground. I looked like Dumpy the Dwarf or a friendly troll. Sage looked at me, took one step forward, and gave me a long, quizzical look.

I love how Sage is always looking around and turning her ears in all directions. She is always aware of her surroundings. When we come to a dip or rise, she slows down and looks at it before proceeding. Instead of “slowpoke,” I should call her Miss Deliberate. I still don’t like her as much as Wyatt, but she’s growing on me.

Almost as soon as we got into the lodge, it started snowing. It snowed all afternoon. Nothing stuck, but it snowed in September!
