...in the late spring.
First, Patrol Leader Gunner takes a last look around before heading off to conduct the post-sunrise perimeter patrol.
Assistant Patrol Leader Buffy the Coyote Slayer waits for the order to "saddle up and move out." Kiki is on a limited duty profile due to hip problems.
There are goats in the mist...
Willy and Pete wait patiently for brekkies...
The new recruits do some combatives training...
...and a whole lot of PT. Lots of PT. No, really, a lot of PT. I get tired just watching 'em.
As the puppies do PT and the patrol does their last pre-combat checks, there are still two sentinels on watch. One silent, one not-very-silent at all.
So, as the Silent Sentinel (christened the "Auld Soldier" in honor of the same) stands watch by the flags, and Reggie, the Not-Very-Silent Sentinel stands watch from the ramparts...
The Post-Sunrise Perimeter Patrol sets out...
...headed for their first stop, the not-a-cement pond.
Just the dawn of another day at Castle Argghhh!
You can keep yer cities.

Pardon my interruption, but are "redlegs" even allowed to say "saddle up"?
"Mounted"??? Is that an "on what" or a "by whom"???
That is so wrong... But funny. ;)
Farm livin' is the life for me
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside
New York is where I'd rather stay
I get allergic smelling hay
I just adore a penthouse view
Darling I love you but give me Park Avenue
The chores, the stores
Fresh air, Times Square
You are my wife
Good bye city life
Green Acres we are there
Petey's full name is Jet's Marked Fool (he was born on April Fool, and comes from the Jetalito line of paints). Petey is his working name, given to him by his previous serving staff.
And yes, I did make the connection, back in the day.
And yes, they can keep their cities...
