Walter amogst the purple sage

Today is trash day so I was up early and went to check on Walter.  Surprisingly someone had given him some hay but I had my doubts if his water barrel was really full.

Last night we had a heavy shower that lasted all of four minutes but I knew that was enough to add more misery to his already wet corral.  Since he was eating I left him alone.

I needed to drive into town and was going to take him some water but I saw his owner by the corral and hoped he would do the honors.  At the corner stop sign there were a couple of cars ahead of me, so I got to see him pulling weeds. He saw me but he ignored me and I did the same.  Did notice he had finally filled his water barrel...it was about darn time!
 

I have noticed that since his corral is wet he has been spending a lot of time at this corner where it is drier.

I wanted him to pose by the flowering purple sage but I couldn't get a good shot of him.

Second try...

Third try...oh well, maybe tomorrow :)
