What Weather We call Winter

I see all these adorable wintery photos around this time of year. I'm jealous. You Yankees have snow covered pines, white pastures, horses with blankets with a white frost to them.

I have rain, and mud. Plenty of it to go around, too. I have horses that are dry & warm under their turnouts, with wet legs, wet hooves, and sploshing about the pasture in the mud. In these rainy cold days, Chewie behaves with much protest. He just gets grouchy, and I can't blame him.

Too wet to do much of anything. When it's raining, I'm not motivated to walk the dogs, so I end up inside, staring at the television, falling asleep too early.
