I’M GLAD YOU LIKED IT. I CAME ACROSS IT WHEN I WAS A KID AND LOVED IT ON THE FIRST READING. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. MOVIES HAVE BEEN BASED ON IT, BUT I’VE YET TO ENCOUNTER ANYTHING EQUAL TO THE READ OF IT...THE RHYTHM OF THE HOOF BEATS, THE COLD NIGHT AIR, THE WIND, THE CLOUDS, THE BRIGHT MOON, THE ROMANCE OF IT ALL.

GREAT POEM. GREAT STORY. I OFTEN THINK OF IT WHEN I SEE A FULL MOON OF WINTER.

I’M GLAD TO HAVE GIVEN THAT TO YOU.

WITH THAT, I’M OFF TO THE CRYPT.

Mine, thankfully has calmed down. At least till I put my head on the pillow. LOL!

You have that problem, too, huh? Kinda stinks being allergy sufferers doesn't it?

It’s horrible. Some years are worse than others, but our drought conditions seem to make it worse. So much sand/dirt. Blech!

It’s a powerful poem and I imagine I’ll think of it on full moon nights as well, especially during the colder months.

I didn’t like the ending though. A pox on Tim the ostler!

Yes, all the dirt in the air last fall while harvest was going on really wore me out. Pollen was already wearing everyone around here out.

My sinuses have finally calmed down quite a bit and I hope for better sleep tonight. I know you do too.

Hooray for calm sinuses. Now if they’ll just stay that way after we’re prone. That seems to be the trigger for mine to start having a tantrum. LOL!

I’m going to finish this show and head out. I’m sleepier than I should be. See ya tomorrow!

Yep, lying down always seems to set things running, though once in a while I get lucky. With luck we’ll both be lucky tonight.

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow.

This is what we had for supper yesterday.

We had quite a few people out at Comanche Lake yesterday. Here are all the pics.

Gizmo rolled over in a number of places yesterday. As you can see I was able to capture one of those instances.🤣

We have another trip planned for later today.

No surprise you two had company out there, as pretty a day as it was. It didn’t hamper Gizmo’s fun at all. LOL

Maybe it won’t be as crowded later today since people will be back at work.

Hey there, Early Birds!
I'm so glad that Monday is fine for me.
Being retired has its perks. 🤣
I remember Mad Mondays
...and it's WHY I'm now NOT working.
Hope all y'all have a Mahv'lus Monday
....and a Wonderful Week!
It's nice and warm here.
(((hugs)))

Nobody likes braggarts who continue to rub it in!
