Today is full of endless possibilities.

 

First there was one sweet horse...

...and then there were two.

"Hey!! What's going on over there?"

"Hello, my hooman!  Did you bring us some cookies?!"



"For one minute, walk outside and stand there in silence... look up at the sky and contemplate how amazing life is."

 

This is even more wonderful when your horse decides to enjoy the moment with you.

 

The weather has not been kind to us here in Minnesota.  Every Friday or Monday we have been getting hit with snow storms or lots of wind blowing said snow across the roads.

The picture above shows the solid sheet of ice on the highway.  A terrifying drive home to say the least.

Spring is right around the corner though.  It should be here any day now... yup... any day. I just hope when Spring does get here, it does so gradually so these mountains of snow can melt slowly instead of all at once.  I'm really not looking forward to the mud I know we're going to have. 

In other news, I was offered a new position where I work so I will no longer be working the overnight shift, weekends, or holidays.  I'm nervous about the new position, but I am excited to be able to spend more time with my family and the horses this year. 

Ready to blaze some trails!! :)

Kiss me, I'm Irish!

May love and laughter light your days,

And warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours,

Wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world

With joy that long endures.

May all life's passing seasons

Bring the best to you and yours.

-Irish Blessing

Here is another old one for ya.

We had a temporary electric fence set up in the yard along the driveway so the horses could graze in that area.

At the time we had Trib in this lower/temporary pasture and we had the rest of the herd in the upper pasture.  The horses were all within sight of each other but we were able to let Trib settle in without everyone picking on him.

In the mornings when I got home from work I would stop my car along the fence line and give all of the horses some treats.  Trib would come trotting over to my car and being as tall as he is (and not caring that the fence was hot) would reach his nose right into my passenger window so I could give him his treats.

What a ham.
