Then Monday it was again another warm day. I caught the boys, and was planning to head over for another ride, but after looking at the mud, left over sweat, and gunk on them, I decided that a bath might be in order. Who knows, might be my last chance to clean them up really well until Spring. I don't mind them dirty if they are not doing anything, but hate the dirt, sweat and gunk when they sweat on a ride, than then always seems to end up as a rub or sore under the tack. So, tied them up, and got the hose out.
Did a quick wash job, just to get the main nasty stuff off them. Flag summed up his feelings on the process with a look on his face that told the story.
After they were dry, which did not take all that long, I let them head back out to the pasture. I found Hank down by the pond later, and decided to snap a picture of him in the sunshine.
All the critters seemed to be enjoying the sunshine. I bet they knew to take advantage of it while it was nice out.
Look how big Mardi is getting!
As the sun started to head on down towards a sunset, the winds shifted, and started coming in from the north. I could feel the tempatures dropping, and knew that cold front was heading on in. Walking back from the barn, I saw we had our little herd of deer that frequent our area grazing down below the house. I grabbed the camera, and found a shot that included Coony, the cat, with the deer in the background. You can see his hair blowing in the wind.
As I type this, our tempature has dropped over 40 degrees since I was out giving horses baths this afternoon. Oh, and I added a little weather gadget to my blog, so you can see how cold, or maybe warm it is here at our house! Tomorrow is to be a high in the 40's, which I know some of the bloggers I read would LOVE a warm day like that!
If you don't like the weather here, wait a day or so..or maybe even an hour, and it will change.

Here in the Swamplands, we say "if you don't like the weather, wait a few MINUTES." The past week of unrelenting fruzcold was a real strain for my attention span, lemme tellya.
But now we're back to 40 degrees F and rain, hooray! So, basically, you and I have the same weather...for a few minutes....!
I saw you mentioned on the CTR list that you had another nice day! I want some of what you are having!
After tomorrow, I am off for a couple weeks. Pulled my trailer out of the snow so it is ready. Going to put my big girl pants on and ride somewhere.... anywhere!!
