but she had a nice nap in the afternoon sunshine in the guestroom today

very hot today, mid-80s
Cora has been sweating in her winter fur these last couple days
but we're having a 50-degree temperature drop tonight
Boomer says hi
and a wild turkey in the brush behind Cora's paddock
there were about a half dozen, I think

Cora seems OK with Dixie the ranch dog,
at least from the other side of the fence.
(She mostly doesn't like dogs.)

Snow Moon, and we actually did have snow while this moon was waxing
thought I was gonna miss it because of clouds
but a window opened this morning a couple hours before it set
