Do you have ice cubes in your underwear?

You do if you live in central New York this morning and you left your laundry on the line last night! As a matter a fact you got a block of ice not just a cube..... So this was the view out of the bedroom window this morning... I did a double take and turned around and got on the long underwear to go do chores this morning... GRRRRRRR.... to early for this stuff..... Then I cut up a zucchini to take to the chickens this morning. Put on my rubber boots and its still twilight as I head out the door, and in the back yard, I see this large animal and think, "Wow, that is one big ass deer..." But, then I realize it's one of the horses! "CRAP", turn around and yell in the house for Nate to get his boots on and butt out the door, the horses are out...



Pretty boy Pete is already across the field and headed for the road, and I really did not want to have to run so I took a shot in the dark and just yelled... "Hey, Petey...want your breakfast?" Next, thing I know I have this Draft horse barrelling down the field headed right for me.. I mean I could hear the thundering of his hooves and the tremors in the ground...I just stood there and said if he runs me down that's that, I'm toast.... But he swerved and couldn't wait to get in the gate for his sweet feed....Thank you, lord....(really) It could have been a mess... The fence is down, but I can fix that easy enough. So the horses are locked in the barn till Saturday, when I can work on the fence.



And this was in the front yard to greet me..... One huge branch in one of my willow's broke under the weight of the snow....


So I get to work, I am already tired, thinking about what I now have to do at home...my phone rings, its Evan, "Hi, darlin' are you make'n snow angels?" I had to laugh..."No, honey... I wish I had thought of that!" I'm still smiling.....
