I laughed out loud at the pic of the horses racing along the path! What a joyful pic, no other word for it! Hope you had a good long soak in the tub after all that work, phew!

Thanks! I feel so blessed to be doing what I do.

I still say that I want to bottle some of your energy for myself!!

I wonder when I'll think I'm getting too old for this?

Just how many feet of snow IS that? I love seeing the pictures of your babies ... and your captions are entertaining. I don't think you're done with snow from what I (think I) heard on the news earlier

Well--it was hard to say with the drifting. The trouble is the drifts form around the fence...which is a problem for me. :| I shoveled between 1-3 ft. About 4" more has fallen since then--so I keep at it. It's so sticky!

Aren't they a riot? :-D No tub for me--too much to do! :wink: A cup of tea and some ice cream perks me right up. :lol: Then a nice hot shower before bed.

But when it saw it was born in a pasture--it fainted.

Then the babies needed to keep me company while I cleared the paths...

Me: "Now what are you going to do?" T and M: "NOW what are we going to do?"

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23648[/ATTACH]

Tucker: "This way, Mazie! We'll go back the way we came!" M: "Next time remind me not to follow you everywhere."

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23649[/ATTACH]

Me: "Hey, you two, don't go past that spot. it's deep."

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23712[/ATTACH]

Tucker, "Man, you're not kidding. I'm sinking!"

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23713[/ATTACH]

but look who ran through the deepest drifts anyway!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23714[/ATTACH]

M: "Tucker, you go first. I'll follow." Tucker: "Of course. I'm a guy. It's what guys do. Have no fear, I'll get us back."

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23715[/ATTACH]

Tucker: "See, we're back. I had everything under control." Mazie and me: rolleyes.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]23716[/ATTACH]

Then they saw the fog and wondered if they had a whole new problem to work out. Me: Never a dull moment. :-)

Oh yeah--from birth to age 4. :lol: They are both under foot--at my elbow--into everything I set down. Water container--they chew the spout or knock it down and paw on it. Muck bucket? They stick their heads inside to see if there's food--then chew the handles. Food containers--they bite and toss them. At night, Rosie--the tallest--reaches a lead rope hanging on a nail and pulls it down (I moved it now!) for the foals to play with. They are like having two year olds--I have to baby proof everywhere! :-D
