Ahhh! That Horsey Smell!

Winter's grip on us on us has been broken, and we had sun and 60 degrees today. There was no way I was NOT going to visit Abby after school. I anticipated my visit all day, and as I rolled up to the old barn and opened my car door, that lovely horsey smell wafted into the car.

Heavenly!!

Hay, fresh air, horsey bodies, and even manure, the smell is one of my favorites and makes me happy.

Abby came right over to say hello, followed closely by her BFF, Diablo.

 Candy canes make them happy!

 Abby had an itchy nose and used the gate post as a scratching post.

I laughed at how it smushed up her nose, but it sure seemed to feel good to her.

 Persuasion was hanging out with Hokey at the second hayrack.

Hokey loves treats, and so he waited by the other gate, hoping I would notice. (I did, and he got a candy cane.)

I drove home with a smile on my face and a feeling that all is right in the world.
