Escondido

Well, Escondido is here. UPS timed it so that the box wasn't sitting out in the lovely torrential downpour, which is good.

Escondido is described as a palomino, but I'm not convinced yet. The mane & tail are very close to the colored parts of the mane & tail on Treasured Moves, and the body color is dark enough that, combined with the mane & tail shade, I'd lean more toward sorrel for this one. Sooty/smutty/dark palomino is possible, I guess. Have to wait for the sun to come out so I can get a look in some good light.

Delayed gratification

I wasn't able to line up someone to pick up an Escondido for me at Breyerfest, so I've been watching Ebay. Then, I luckily checked my email while on a vacation weekend, and managed to see Breyer's email about the extras being sold online. I gave in and bought one (for much less than the $225 "buy it now" prices on Ebay).

Made a quick run to the mall today, hoping that UPS would be as late as they were last month. Nope. Came home to a yellow & brown UPS sticker on the door. And since it's a holiday weekend, the next delivery day is Tuesday. When I'll be out on an errand again. Rats!
