Coming down lightly, but it is starting to accumulate. Kind of a white world, but fun to feed with a team in falling snow and little to no breeze. It was 22 when I looked, so not too bad. Chance is supposed to be coming to pick up Hope today. She and the boys haveContinue reading “More snow”

Thank you all for the nice birthday wishes. It was a great day. I got over a hundred well wishes from friends on Facebook. Which considering there are over 300 who claim to be my friends, ain’t all that high. Guess you find out who your friends are don’t you! LOL Pretty warm today. WentContinue reading “1/14/11”

We got about 3 inches of fluffy snow last night. Cindy had to push snow most of the way to town this morning and when she got to a hill at the Courthouse she couldn’t get going again. Her car has some kind of Traction Control that won’t allow the ties to spin, so itContinue reading “1/9/11”

Got the chores outside done and now on to the inside chores. I caught both Halflinger fillies the last two mornings and worked with just a little. Wren is almost a pet and likes attention. Just like her brother. Rill is standoffish and really doesn’t want to be messed with but once you have herContinue reading “1/5/11”

T’ain’t fitten’ out there! When I looked it was 9 above, but a hard northwest wind blowing about 30 mph. When I was last in the big city, I went to a popular outdoor store, that has stores all over, but who shall remain nameless. I looked and hunted and talked to supposedly “experts” tellingContinue reading “Thursday 12/30/10”

Wow! Nice day out! Must have gotten almost up to 40. Got snow melting, getting ready to turn to ice when the high is 5 above in a few days. I suppose I am going to have to get a guy here to shoe my horses. I had decided that if it was going toContinue reading “12/27/10”

Winter Solstice. first day of winter, on the calender, but we figure winter has been here for a month at least. Shortest amount of daylight for the year. It’s about 4:30 as I type this and almost dark. If it wasn’t for the full moon rising, it would be dark, I think. From now on,Continue reading “12/21/10”

Here’s another winter poem. Plumb true happening from years back with my Dad. Feedin’ with Gramps It was gettin’ down right nippy Headin’ ‘tords Christmas day Snow had been pilin’ up pretty high I was feedin’ lots of hay Gramps went along one day When I harnessed up to feed He’d driven lots of teamsContinue reading “12/18/10”
