Harvest Time in Indiana

 Such a beautiful Fall we've had! Although there has been more rain than usual, the temperatures have been mild, and when it's been sunny, it's been gorgeous!

The rain has impeded the harvest a bit, but the farmers have been busy recently bringing in the beans and corn.

 A recent drive via 600 out to the barn showed that the farmers' progress ranges from

 untouched

to partially done

to completed!

Forecasts for what will happen this winter weather-wise vary from just as harsh as last year to mild, warmer, and dry. Regardless of what will come, the horses are ready. Here's the old barn where the herd chooses to stay during harsh weather.

 There are two large stalls that the horses can go in and out of at will. 

 The mares usually choose the larger left side, while the geldings choose the smaller right side.

Freedom to roam at will!

I love that they get a choice as to where they wish to be and don't have to be stalled all day (although Tim also has another barn with stalls and an indoor arena. If a horse was ill or needed to be brought in for some reason, we do have the option.)

Abby is in good flesh, happy, and healthy. Bring on winter!
