So it's cold.

Like much of the USA at the moment, South Carolina is a cold place to be.

One of the newer (and most lovely) aspects of my life is having the privilege to work at a horse barn. Samantha and I get lessons, and I get to spend an hour to two each week night with these gorgeous animals and to have some centering time. 

With it being so cold, making sure those beautiful boys and girls drink enough is priority #1. 

It's fun to get all of the ice out of a bucket in one piece, don't ya think?

When ice forms on the storm door, the natural thing to do is melt it with your hands to make handprints (that remain for hours!)

Say hello to Penny. It's hard to get good pictures at night when they're trying to eat. :) But she's Amish and I love her.

Samantha and her instructor on a not so cold day on the pony she usually rides, Lady. We've decided a little bareback at the end of a lesson is good for the soul.
