Blue juniper, Lady, and Cora.

Cora and I rode a few minutes three days this week.
Today was fun, we wandered outside the arena a little.

None of the critters care when I wear a mask.
It's not like we make any sense anyway.

We had our first freeze last night. The average first freeze date is Dec. 2, so it was right on time.
And an angel stopped by the next door neighbor's this morning.

Cora was super alert and twitchy today. I don't know why.

the last pic is a wasp nest on my truck's passenger door hinge - it would be accessible from the outside when the door is closed, and I rarely open that door, but it must have been confusing for the wasps when I drove away, so it appears they abandoned the nest pretty early

A record of horseback riding, written in bones and teeth (NY Times). Why I never ride Cora more than a few minutes at a time, and always bitless.
