addendum to Thursday

Hank led us all, except Mom, up a very long trail last night after supper. Me and Valerie heard a weed-eater running somewhere and then after we all passed by it, realized that it might've been a rattlesnake. Hank went back and looked and confirmed it - he saw the rattle. It was a very young one. I'll never forget that sound.

This photo is from that evening ride. Val's horse has a bladder problem evidently. And always when the camera is pointed in his direction.
