“Sorry you live in such a hostile environment,“ is usually reserved for the Texan relatives however, you certainly are enjoying a ”more robust” winter season than us. Probably do that most years too.😳

We are warmer... but snowing.
Got to say though... usually... I vastly prefer a bunch of snow over -20F and worse.
I STILL, after all of these years...prefer 80 and 90 to anything below 20F.

That's one thing I don't like about working up north in Nov-Jan. Short short days. I left WA in mid Jan this year. I think at Christmas time shortest time of the year there was 1hr & 1/2 to 2hrs more daylight at the house. I've also had to go to N.D. to start at New Year's.Noooooo

I was organizing files, and found a few good horse photos.
The first photo is a great photo to show the size difference. One winter the snow got too deep and shorted out the electric fence, and they got out of the paddock and went gallivanting through the deep snow..... I think because it was snowing when they left, they couldn't find their way back. We had the worst time finding them again. We kept getting reports of a "Mare and foal" running about first in one spot then in a far distant spot. I couldn't figure out why no one GRABBED them. They went in a huge circle , so several miles through the snow. When we finally tracked them down and caught them, they then had to walk all of the way home, but this time on the plowed road. One of us led the two, the other drove the car behind with the hazards flashing. Poor Buzz stumbled once or twice he was so tired... but we took it slow and finally made it. I can't remember what year that was, but it was before we had Riley.
2009
Buzz, (Percheron), and Fleet (Caspian).
2010
Fleet looking at us, Buzz in the back. That is not my house in the back.
2012, kid #4 leading Buzz, Riley (Quarter horse x Thoroughbred) to the left

Still cleaning up files...
I had totally forgotten this one. Back from 2014
Top of a moose skull. We put it in the chicken run so that they could clean it out for us.
It took them a while, but they did a great job.
That is my Dominique rooster, Old Man, best personality ever.
