WATER WATER EVERYWHERE

It's become warmer in Southern Arizona.

The horses still have on their winter coats, since it still gets down into the 30's at night, and are pretty uncomfortable during the regular sunny days here.

But there is normally a pretty brisk breeze, and they have very large water containers to help them cool off.

Except for one pen.

The colt, Rue (who I actually have been calling "Roo", as in Kanga and Roo, for over two years now), has discovered that if he works at it hard enough, he can tip the water tank over.

And somehow the simple joy of water gushing out over his little hooves just sends his little heart aflutter.

Without understanding the consequences of being without water for the rest of the day or until I notice that he has tipped over the water for himself and Najale, my horse.

And then I  feel all guilty that the animals are thirsty!
