the first snow......

Well.. the snow did not arrive in time for a white Christmas... but it looks like it will be a white New Year's instead. Finally a few inches showed up last night and today. I couldn't wait to see what Logan thought about this.... it's her first.  Stepping out on the stairs, she was a bit taken back...
but in moments (as I knew she would).. she was racing about and having a grand time. Course the down side is... housetraining... she is really getting the idea of it, but distractions are not helpful when a pup should be thinking of other things. So, the next few days - until she gets used to this - could be interesting. 




It actually was pretty cold, so we didn't stay out too long (and she did manage to do her "thing")... but she is going to have fun this winter for sure...
It's been a little hard having the Christmas spirit with it being so warm and green. But, we have seen this before, and I'm guessing we're in for a fairly easy winter if this is what the snow is going to be like. 
The nice thing is... we can pull the sleigh out and hopefully offer some rides at the New year open house....
The horses don't mind the snow... even though there is a nice big "warm" barn to go in, they mostly choose to be out. Duke came in looking like this.... 
There wasn't a huge clean up, which is also kind of nice... and now that we have a real walkway, Ed managed to snow blow that... 

so I guess winter has officially arrived... kind of about time....
