And more of the same

It's about this time of year
that winter always starts to seem very long.

We've had a January/February thaw. Mud has set in (and thawed & set up again) as the snow has dwindled. The horses are starting to shed just a bit - I keep telling them it's too early to be losing coat yet, but they aren't listening.

The days are getting longer
and a tiny bit warmer.

Yesterday the sun was out, and I so wanted to ride. But the ground is still slick, Sunny was filthy, and there's so much else to be done.

Maybe this weekend.
