Autumn Views As We Wait!

#1: The excitement is building up here at the Poupounette, as we await the arrival of our little princess late afternoon. Uncle U is bringing her over and making sure she settles down OK with her new siblings.

So, to pass the time of day, here a few shots taken in the past week or two, with a little taste of autumn in the Perche:



That shot taken yesterday afternoon. I have known Romeo, the Percheron pulling the carriage I was in, since he was about a week old, so it was a real pleasure to feel his strength as he trotted happily in the sun. By the way, that's his mum pulling the carriage in front!

We have nothing here like the flamboyant colours that are seen in parts of North America, but there is still plenty of autumnal beauty to admire:

    Our autumn has unromantically faded to brown here...

  8. Idyllic! I saw some horses pulling carriages on Saturday, but they were in Central Park, avoiding taxi cabs, rollerbladers and cyclists, and hauling around lots of tourists! Your ride looks much more fun.

    Your pal,

  9. Those sure are pretty fall pictures! We sure hope the new kitten is there and you're getting along well.
    Thank you for your support for the LL today, we know you understand how people really can get hurt around horses if they don't know anything.

  10. Hi Tom and Sen,

    I found your blog and wanted to say hello. I live with 4 kitties!! You guys really seem to get along! I can't wait to hear about the new addition. We just had a new addition recently come into our house-she's a little devil!! But she has really added life to the older boy kitties!!

    It was really nice to meet you!! And mom and I think the leaf colors are beautiful-we don't get any of that here in California. Where in France do you live? Mom was born in Orleans.
