Snowbound

Jack is entertaining himself by making Beer Bread. I am entertaining myself by watching neighbors dig out the truck that is stuck in the same place vehicles always get stuck after a major snowstorm. Each storm, at least one neighbor attempts to prove that 4WD means you shouldn’t have to wait for the county snow plow. Since I25 (about 2.5 miles away) is not yet open, I have no idea of where they were going with the truck.

Dubious Mia

Taken on December 21, 2006.

Mia did not believe that I was serious about her leaving the mudroom this morning. After several attempts to call her, in which she turned around and went back inside, I had to put a leash on her and lead her to a part of the dog run which had been scoured bare by the winds. Fortunately, Lody loves to gambol in the snow, so I didn’t have to coax her out. Then, I went back inside and watched Magic and Rags playing by the barn through the bedroom window. It would have been a lot more charming if I hadn’t been worried about elderly horses fooling around like foals in dangerous conditions.

And it is still snowing.
