It was the wet snow (of course-it always rains here before it snows) that sticks to everything. It was just beautiful. A's friend E was here. They were chasing each other with snowballs.
It was still hazy and snowing just a little bit when we first went out.
Hmm. The house looks small here against the backdrop of snow.
We had enough rain yesterday to make the wet weather creek run.
The dogs seemed to enjoy it.
We got the horses out. I don't know why it's so fun to ride in the snow. Growing up in WI we didn't think much of the snow but here it's such a rare treat that it makes everything special.
This is at my parent's house.
Then we decided to do some "redneck open sleighing". Dad and R are on the horses and A and E are in the sleds.
Dad's horse and R's horse didn't like the sled being pulled behind them so we had to put them up and just use Lady. She's a good old horse. That's R on the horse and me in the sled.

This one is A in the sled.
Yup, Lady's a good old horse.
Then we came in and warmed up with coffee, cocoa and the fireplace. Oh, that felt good. Later on, T and I went for a walk with the dogs up into the woods.
It's already melting off quite a bit.
At first the snow wouldn't pack well at all. Once it started melting we were able to make some snowmen, which were actually more like slushmen, and because they picked up everything they have a few horse apples in them too. Just thought you'd like to know that.
We did get the potato cannon out and decapitated the snowman. R had to go to work so she was not able to joust. T pretended one was a linebacker and attacked it. We have some videos of these things but vids don't post well from here. I'll try to get one of them on here anyway but we'll see if that works.

I was able to talk to J already today. I started singing some of the songs that we sang together when I was down there and he was all smiles about that. Oh Lord, please let him come home. Of course he asked when we were coming to get him. I gave the usual answer-when the passport and visa are done. I don't know how much he comprehends of that but I have no other answer for him. Keep praying.
