lazy day after Christmas

Chilly, windy, snowy... a good reason to be lazy :) The best days to be lazy are between Christmas and New Year. ;) All I did today was feeding in the morning, chatting with my mom on skype, have a chat with Linda, have a nap or sort of a nap I was listening to music and now I still don't do a lot... Oreo, Babe and Magic have fun in the snow at the moment. Crazy girls :)

sledding in the horse pasture

A nice winter day with a little bit of clouds and the sun peeking out- perfect for sledding !! It was AJ's second Birthday party. So, we took three plastic sleds and a quad to the hill in Mikeys pasture. Joe plowed a road down the hill for us. I was pulling Cat, AJ`s half sister, in a sled to the hill. Maddie was with us too. She was so excited like only a puppy can be... I gave Cat`s sled a push and tried to send her down the hill. The snow was way too powdery and too deep so i had to follow her down the hill and push her again and again. Maddie followed us and checked out what we do. Soooo cute !! Linda picked us up with the quad on the foot of the hill to pull us up the hill. I put Maddie also in the sled and sat behind her. Unfortunatly, the sled tipped over and I was laying in the snow. Maddie laid on Cat. Poor Maddie, she had no idea what happend, the expression on her face was so surprised ! So, I lifted her out of the sled and we were laying together in the snow. Then it was my turn to sled down the hill... The sled was too light and so I felt every bump in the ground and the sled even turned so I was facing up hills... Everyone was laughing !!! it was fun, i really missed sledding !

back to work after Christmas

Jim had to go back to Viking today. I just got used to have him around me more then just one or two days... and he has to go back... ! That is just not fair !!! So we were visiting after feeding horses and just took it easy. Linda and I are still not quite recovered from the short nights before Christmas. Then it was time to head to the bus station. The bus left town at 3.15 pm. I already miss him :( I don`t know when I will see him the next time :(

christmas trail ride

Today, we went for our Christmas trail ride. Awesome !!!! I rode my golden boy, Kidd again. It was great like always when I rode him. He had so much fun and was full of energy. Kidd wanted always be in the front and go his speed. Sometimes we went for a little sightseeing in the bush ;) We took Jim on Scoot with us. He really enjoyed it. I really would like to repeat the trail ride...

Christmas away from home

My first Christmas away from home.... it is a weird feeling and on the other side exciting. I spent Christmas Eve at Linda's place. The whole gang was here and we had a fondue bourginaux with meat and veggies. Here, the meat and veggies get coated with a batter before you put it in the oil to fry. Another good version. :) And as always on days like that there was way too much food. ;) I got nice presents and the one I was so excited about is the one from Jim. He gave me wolf earrings and a necklace with a wolf and a cup with wolves on it. He knows that I loves wolves :) That present means a lot to me ! I got him a tool thingy for fishing. it looks like a Swiss Army knife for fishers. ;)

3 days til christmas

3 Days til Christmas !! And til i see Jim again, yeah!! He will come to Edson for Christmas. Linda and I took it easy, put the 2 year-old stud which is boarded here together with the geldings, had a few good chats, one of Linda's friends came over for a visit, i wrapped my presents for Jim and then it was time for feeding the horses.

eclipse tonight

After night with more then just 4 hours of sleep and three kittys visiting, we fed the horses with Maddie helping. Around 1 pm we went to town for christmas shopping. I found a few nice things ;) The roaming around in Walmart took a little bit time and so we had to rush home to be on time to feed the gang. And this time Maddie was helping again. She is sooo cute. Tonight is the eclipse, I hope to stay awake long enough to see it :)
