			 Weather was miserable again yesterday, so we put off until this morning going over to see Lloyd who is back at Gary's Oklahoma stables.   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			This year I think the frost will be on the pumpkin a bit early in the Saratoga environs - there's definitley a fall nip in the air. The horses love it, but a great many workers are bundled up like Eskimos. Lloyd looks very good, he's very happy, and he got a lovely pair of new shoes. God love him - he's a sweet, lovable clown. It's such a pleasure spending time with him. We've come to visit, LD ![]() Do I see cookies? ![]() Hey! Don't be feeding him cookies! ![]() Finally, I get some cookies. ![]()
