For a sugar cube

I came to the pasture with my manure fork to tidy up. The cat was at my heels like a good dog. I had one sugar cube in my pocket from a party last weekend.

Baasha eyed me suspciously at first cuz of the camera, but then came across the field to see if there's anything worthwhile. A cube of sugar is always worth the walk!

The cat has only recently started joining me in this area, and she is beginning to enjoy herself down here, until Baasha gets too close!


It looks safe, could it be safe?










Oh, he's moving away! That is much safer!

Here is the accompanying video. Careful viewers will see my trough scrubber hanging from the wire looking tacky.

I edited the cat photos (only) in this post, darkening and contrasting.

Baasha looks AWESOME--he's almost fat (but not quite)! That's wonderful. Go find another sugar cube and give it to him from his Auntie AareneX.

I think the trough scrubber just illustrates how conscientious you are in caring for Baasha.

Man, that horse is so photogenic. He looks like a fairy tail - a white horse in a green pasture under a blue sky. Cute video!
