Mmmm Winter Delights!



1. Those skies!

2. Putting your hands under a horse's blanket right behind the withers: smooth pocket of warm horse, yum.

3. Thermal underwear! You can live in them! I feel like Pappy Yoakum schlumping around the property - all I need is an outhouse and a banged up rifle.

4. Doggies to sleep in your lap.


5. Lemonade!! Big wintery thanks to CanadianCowgirl for sending me a glass of lemonade award; when winter gives us lemons, girlfriend, we gots to make lemonade or perhaps a hot lemon toddy!! I like your style, Canadian! And you must own some kickin long underwear!


6. Hay for my horses! Take a look at the size of that bale:
And look whose greedy horse is gnawing on it in midair: that's Montana on the right. Not too scared of machinery.

And Rufus is learning to jump through a hoop! And having fewer accidents on the rug! Life is improving as the days grow ever so slightly longer each week. Dust off your chaps cowgirls - that ice is going to be gone before we know it.

Great pictures! I love the winter and all it's mini treasures! :)
I hope I get to wear my chinks more often than not here soon!

Beautiful sky. It's great to have a positive outlook during the winter days. I have noticed we're getting longer lighter days and am waiting for the ice/snow to melt. I think I'd like to see some green for a change.

That picture of the sky is so cool. We are in a cold spell, but with each week I know spring is getting closer and closer :) ~rubbing my hands together with a greedy smile~

PonyGirl: I have a serious envy for your chicks. May they see a lot of sun this summer!

CdnCowgirl: I was reading about your temps - brrrrr.

GreyHorse: I think my new puppy needs grass to improve his house training too!

Ezra; Yes! The cold is losing its energy, and the sun is gaining his energy back. Soon and soon!
