we got snow! lots of it! and i cant shovel, YAY!
You see, i read an article a few years back that said once your man turns 50 you shouldnt let him shovel as that kills them right there in the driveway...So I would buck up and shovel and get muscular and everything and tell Mr. Foresterman, "look, im saving your life!"...so this year, since I cant lift anything heavier then 10 lbs for a while, I got to dress up and take photos instead! Yay!
here are some bird tracks; looks like that bird was contemplating something....
and how ironic - heres Tomez's cat tracks contemplating something too...
heres baby contemplating getting his first hay of the winter season;
since we got over 6 inches we thought it was time to roll out a round bale...
lets have a big ba-le of fun!! cue the accordian, Stanley!!
Here they are, watching as Mr. Foresterman sets it up - dont they look like two kids who are about to get the christmas package of their dreams?
Sally's first around the gate; being small has its advantages...
then comes Ebony; he only has eyes for the bale...
a picture of a very content horse.
"look eb, them peoples are gonna keep us around, they gave us "buffet hay"!
Although the haybale is about 1100 lbs, Eb still has to make sure that Sally doesnt get all the good stuff first...
So soon I got bored taking photos of them munching and maybe moving 2 feet at the most sideways,
so i decide to look for other photo opportunities!
Look! a man with a chainsaw!
Mr. Foresterman is cutting up old fenceposts for firewood - he tells me that I shouldnt publish this because although he has his kevlar chaps on, he doesnt have his hardhat..hes such a stickler for details, but thats probably why I have lived as long as i have...anyhow, this is how we keep warm! By watching him and praying he doesnt get bonked in the head! Soon my blood pressure cant handle it anymore so we go look for other things...
I round the corner of the house to peek on the birdfeeders...
but theres no birds though because its stinkin' cold out...and I havent filled the feeders yet...
Even the pinecones look cold...
and the sky can be described as "ice cube glacier blue"
even the icicles look menacing...
as in real menacing death by icicle head impalement...wheres the hardhats?
Anyhow
How cold is it?
uhmm, cold enough !
Thank you for taking my first photography walk with me since I was put under the knife and drugs and things!
I hope to do it again, real soon!

nice to see you out and about!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these. So did my husband. He is in the market for a new camera and he is agonizing over what to buy. He loves you horses by the fence and wants to know what kind of camera set up you have. Do you mind sharing? So glad you are out and about! Been sending you good thoughts! Sandra
ReplyDeleteOh you got some awesome shots there. Wonderful, but it looks really really cold. Brrrr keep warm.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful light in that last photo. Who says you can't eat yellow snow?
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cold. Bet you the birds are wishing you'd fill that feeder.
Love the photo with Ebony in the background of the hay; there's just something about a black horse galloping through the snow...
Stay safe and warm!
she's back outside!!! hurray!!! feral woman is back in her element! :) LOVE seeing ebony and sally living the good life! and the light in some of these photos was so gorgeous! just wonderful to have you back!!!

Amazing pics! Everything looks so crisp and pretty! Such a great post:@)
ReplyDeleteEbony and Sally are an adorable pair. Beautiful snow pictures. Glad you had a nice photo walk. Stay warm! That's a lot of snow and brrrr, that temp is really low. You must be dropping quite a bit below zero during the night. How fast will Ebony and Sally go through a round bale keepin' their belly fires a burnin'?

It's wonderful to see you enjoying yourself. It is also wonderful to see all the magnificent photos you posted for us all to enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteYou caught the picture I've been trying to get for ages... the first one... the snow sparkles are beautiful. For some reason my camera never 'sees' them.
ReplyDeleteI loved my walk with you... inside where it's warm!
Brrrr...
But, it looks like you were bundled up against the cold.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteHappened upon your blog during a cozy afternoon surfing horsey sites. I too have a DVT... mine is in my left leg and I am on life long Coumadin treatment. Praying something better is discovered (and accepted by the FDA!) before I am old.
Just wondered what yours is linked to? Mine was due to postpartum clot UNTIL they ran some tests and was found protein S deficient (I am prone to clotting due to a genetic blood disorder)
Sorry if I'm bringing up painful issues! Just thought we had a lot in common... come by my blog sometime if you are interested.

Glorious pictures! Now go back in where it's safe n warm!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a blessed Thanksgiving!
