The above photo was taken right after we completed our first hay mowing last summer. From a clear sky and a sunny skies prediction, the wind picked up, the heavens darkened, and we feared we were in for a downpour on our newly cut crop.
Fortunately, the Great Spirit gave us a break, and only a few sprinkles fell from the angry-looking clouds.

A few days later, Farmer Sam and Sammette (Steve and I) had a successful baling with good dry hay. Our horses are still munching on the results. 
For more great photos, go to Skywatch Friday.
Oh your horses are just beutiful so glad I could make the photo larger!
