These 2 Degree Mornin's are Gettin' Old

~If my husband cared as much for me as he does his horse,
I'd be a better wife.~
~Ada Monroe 1888~

Actually, that quote might need to be turned around for some of us horse crazy gals!!

We're supposed to hit a whoppin' 23 degrees today...all I can say is "come on spring!!!"

    BRRR!!! We had a warm up over the weekend - in the high 40s but it's back to being cold and frozen again. At least there's no mud....

    That's definitely brrr weather. It's cold here too, staying below freezing all day and the kind of cold that feels frigid when outside, and means carrying water to melt the sheep waterer and keep it usable at all. They say it might warm up on Wednesday and I am more than ready to see the ice go. The skies though have been pretty and your shot is a good example

    It warmed up for a few days here, but all I can say is I'm glad it's below freezing again. I was already tired of mud...

    the cold is getting old....however, I don't think its going to leave soon. I was thinking today that we have maybe 2 1/2 more months at the least. On the bright side, the cold creates some unique photography opportunities! Just stay inside in the warm as much as you can!

    Having to be out in the cold winter ....doing chores.....kinda sucks.
    We have had a warmer winter so far then last winter however.

    ya know, I have been reading these books about a cattle ranch that was settled in British Columbia, area in the 1930's. They had a 4 million arcre ranch!!!!!!
    and boy the stories and hardships they tell make me cringe.

    they are working those horses, driving those cattle in 40 below weather. It is pretty amazing.
    Makes me feel like a wus.
    Um, I think I'll OWN up to that.

    We had this last year. Hang in there. Spring will come, not as soon as we'd like it to, but it will come. meanwhile, keep shooting, your shots are perfection.

    It finally warmed up here but it's breezy and that just makes it seem colder. Spring must be coming......I got my seed catalog in the mail.

    Aww what a cute donkey. I hear you about the cold, we have warmed up a little here this week, but I sure want spring as well.

    I love that quote, but I do agree it should be switched around as well!

    Jeni~That cute lil' fuzzy burro is the one and only Stetson! And yes, the background is me...it's a few years back riding Ol' Man Toby and ponying a training horse named Dakota. My younger brother took the pic it's SOTC...middle of summer and all the dust made such a wonderful natural mystic look.

    Wendy~I'd like to know the name of the books you mentioned...love that type of reading!

    I hear ya! I am tired of these freezing temperatures. It about makes me nuts raising a few pigs. I constantly worry about if they are warm enough inside their barn, etc.
    I can't wait for spring.
    Stay warm!!

    I call the high teens and lower 20's great menopausal weather lol esp. if you have to walk in the woods or clean out a paddock...and it feels like a downright tropical heat wave after the below zeros!
