It’s everywhere. That light, fluffy and deceptively alluring objectionable white stuff has covered my world and created once more a Winter Wonderland. Wonder, as in wondering why the heck am I not living where global warming is having a greater effect???
Over the course of the past week we’ve managed to collect at least 18″ of the dreadful four letter S word, with temps plummeting into the single digits here in the valley, lower still once you head into Little Canada (north county) where the wind blows.
This morning after feeding hungry horses and sheep, I grabbed my camera and took a few photos in the pre-dawn moments. Despite the cold, I was determined to capture the horror of my situation here and share it with you.
Darling’s mind has completely gone. Snow madness, I suspect. I came inside and found her editing a video she’d shot of herself riding Sandy out in the snow…she had her arms stretched out like she was an airplane as he jogged in circles.
“What the heck are you doing?” I demanded in my best mother voice.
“I figure this is the time to try riding with no hands; the landing’s got to be softer!”
Kids!
I am currently training a new horse for the Northwest Extreme Mustang Makeover! If you’d like to keep up with what Darling and I are doing on a more regular basis, please visit the Mustang Diaries.
Don’t be so hard on Darling. Remember when we was young , carefree, and daring. lol I hope that you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Hi Tracey! And thanks for your sweet comment today.
I do believe, we are in sort of the same neck of the woods and I agree with you on the Global Warming question!! Remarkably, they are claiming this forsaken weather IS because of it! Where’s the logic….
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a magical New Year! Good luck with the NW Mustang Makeover!
(we adopted one from Burns years ago…an awesome Mare! her 17 year old offspring is still barrel racing and in the hands of a young lady we watched grow up and now lives just down the way from us)
