15. First time Laurie slipped one of those on a horse I wondered what the heck she was doing.

Maddie's wearing a fly mask, which keeps flies from her nose, her eyes, etc. The mask also protects against sunburn. I'm glad you asked.

Pete, on the other hand (hoof), doesn't like fly masks. Laurie figures the material makes his skin itch, because every time she puts one on him, he rubs against a fence post until the mask slips off. So he goes maskless.

We love the clematis, really pretty. Thank You for your kind comments. I don't
