We are at the heart of winter---it really isn't too bad here but I hate it. We have about an inch of snow melted down from about four inches. It is still white and not gray so we have had some decent air quality with this winter.
I spent most of the day yesterday stuck. We took a truck and trailer in to a stackyard to try to get some hay for the horses---made it most of the way in then broke through the frozen layer that we didn't know was there. About three hours later we were back on the road loaded with hay and with a new appreciation for the snow depths across the mountain.
I don't remember if I blogged about losing a horse on Christmas day but if I did here is a repeat. One of our best fox trotter horses stepped into a cattle guard on the road into the pasture---all four legs---and killed himself hitting his head on the guard---now that he is gone we can clearly say he was the best we ever had---right---yeah we can say and think it but he probably wasn't---he was a great horse though. We'll miss him on the trails.
I have returned to work and things are going OK there but I keep thinking it may be time to get out of the rat race. Every time I decide to do that something happens that kind of forces me to stay for a while longer---next Tuesday I cross 37 years working---I keep telling folks I have a really bad eye disease---I just can't see me being here.

That's so sad! I'm sorry you lost your horse. I had heard you lost it, but I didn't know what happened. That's how Copper died last year. :( I hear the Fox-Trotter horses are smooth to ride, though I've never ridden one. *L*
you will go crazy if you don't work. I can't picture it.
Epitome, He wouldn't go crazy if he moved near us, because he could pick the dandelions out of our yard, too! HEE HEE *L*
He could always pick up a hobby...Like when we lived in B******* he would sit outside during the winter and spring and channel the water out of our driveway with a shovel...
