No social distancing, evening conversation
centers on introductions as sorrel horses
welcome first-calf heifers coming to water:
no politics, no economic woes, just
domesticated souls touching nose-to-nose
before shadows crawl across the canyon.
We are enveloped for prolonged minutes
within their quiet reverie, forgetting
all the bad news they’ll never know.

Happy Labor Day to you and yours, John. Praying there are no fires near you.

Thank you, Janet. No fires close, but the smoke is terrible. This morning’s sun was scarlet. Temperatures dropping after 109 degrees the past two days that ought to help these weary fire fighters.

I can’t imagine how tired the fire fighters are by this time! Just the smoke we’ve experienced during the summer some years in Wyoming from far away fires is bad enough. Yours must be terrible.

Oh good, John. We are blessed to have the livestock remind us that the whole world hasn’t gone to hell, and that someday, if we’re lucky, we may approach some kind of normalcy. Thanks for the attaboy!
