Winter Fashions

Winter weather finally came.  After the crazy October Snowpocolypse, it has been very mild all winter--dry and warm.

We had a cooooold weather snap recently, and this weekend finally some more snow.  Not that I'm complaining about the lack of snow.  It was pretty pleasant actually, and the warmer weather has kept the ground from freezing and allowed me to ride at home for longer.

Now that there's freezing cold weather and pretty snow though, we get to raid Cathleen's trunks for pretty, pretty things to wear.  Look how dashing!

We just went for a little romp down to the lake.  The snow was perfect--there was enough of it on the road to cushion the ground, cover the rocks, even out the holes, but wasn't slippery or so much that it was hard to get through.

My head is HUGE

Even through the snow, EZ can find delicious things to nom.

But is still eager to get back inside and to his hay.

Since we were staying off the road, we brought the little farm dog.  He would much rather go back to being a tropical island dog on his sandy beaches, I think.  Although he does enjoy the poopsicles. 

To try to make his cold, outdoor experience more enjoyable, he is also outfitted in winter fashions.

Complete with little rubber booties.  He's Mr Balloon Hands.
