The weather forecasters called Labor Day "meteorological Autumn". And six months or so ago they called March first "meteorological Spring". I've never heard either expression before. But "meteorological Spring" makes more sense to me. March first always felt kind of like Spring is in the air.On Wednesday, September 8th, somebody threw a switch and this year it was instant on Autumn. Tuesday it was over 90 degrees and then since Wednesday, after some morning thunderstorms, it's been in the 70s. Crisp and breezy, nice in the sun and cold at night. Maybe the weather forecasters were right.
Around here at the first sign of Autumn folks polish the old Corvette ...
No, not my old Vette!and enjoy Polo in the Country!
It was a nice day and we had a really good time! Far as we were concerned we had the best seat in the house. I'll reserve this seat again!
I just *love* polo ponies!
It's just amazing the way they can turn it on and turn it off. They're beautifully trained animals!
And while the teams rested in the shade at halftime...
We got to see Dorothy Morkis show us her stuff:
How cool is that! That was a real treat!And the Norfolk Hunt Club hounds show us their stuff:
Another treat! The Norfolk Hunt Club has the oldest continuously operating hunt kennel in the country.
This is a really civilized game. Despite its heritage. You all know where polo comes from don't you?
And of course there were tailgating awards. This was my number one vote!
Of course you all know I like simple things. When the world seems like an ugly place who can resist a couple of little horses in hats. And a pumpkin for the season!
And my number 2 vote. How cute is this:
