First SNOW of 2011

I woke up early this morning to SNOW!!!! Everybody knows how much I like snow, not only for it's beauty, but we make our living plowing it! But mostly I have really come to love it out here on the ranch. I can not explain the peace there is feeding the horses in the snow, but I will try:) First off on a snow this early in the season, I am outside first thing in morning, NO COFFEE even! Because the horses haven't gotten their coats yet, so I know they will be shivering..... Nothing LOTS of grass hay won't cure! So anyways on snowy days like this, I love going out to feed and as I am curring the wet horses, I can hear them all munching on hay. For some reason, to me, there isn't a more peaceful sound any where. The STILLNESS is amazing. I didn't take my camera into the horse pen because it is always so muddy, and I seem to take my fair share of falls, so SAVE THE CAMERA right? :) But I do have some beautiful pictures to share. I must say it is nice to be sitting by the fire now, all warm and cozy, dogs all snugged up in blankets all over.. I do believe it is a "Little house on the prairie" day... Thank you Lord for your beauty AND your provision! Have a Blessed day everyone!
