The beautiful weather continues here in Southern Indiana. The drought continues as well. I have heard that dry conditions cause the color change on the trees to be very rapid so I captured some of them yesterday.
Of course, I have to get my little corner of the world in here!
And a scrawny little deer!!! The drought has been hard on every creature!
I also visited a 'fun fair' at a therapeutic riding stables down the street from me. I have driven by it many times but never stopped in. Got a shot of one of the riders in the arena and she was doing very well! She had a good seat and urged her horse into a cantor shortly after this. Very nicely done, much better than I can do!
The name of the organization is PALS, here is their website if you are interested:

One of the horses - hoping with all his might that you can't read!!! My mother would have this sign ripped off and be petting him and stuffing carrots in that poor horse's mouth! And she would have already caught the scrawny little deer and be feeding her up, too!
And, for the Beady-Eyed Bunch - a new pattern! It is by Carol Ohl - the one that designed the Lacey Daisy - and is called Baby Bubbles. I've been learning Right-Angle Weave (known as RAW) and this is a very simple one. Uses size 11 seed beads and 3.4 mm drops (also known as fringe beads sometimes). Unfortunately, I used 2.8 mm drops - not much difference between 3.4 and 2.8 but enough to make it not quite like the pattern! I now have one started with the correct size drops. It doesn't take very long - you can easily do a bracelet in an evening.
The first picture displays the colors more accurately - these are green drops with gold 11's. The next two were taken in the morning and the light changed the colors to almost all gold. I thought that was quite cool so just kept the pictures as they are instead of re-taking them!
That's all for now!
