Abby, Mini Dandy, & a Song

I haven't posted about Abby and the herd for a while but they are fine. They have transitioned to hay, the old barn is finished enough for them to use, and life is good. 

We have entered the time of year when actually visiting with her is difficult. While we have only had some light dustings of snow and no ice thus far, the hay rack is way out at the far western edge of the field.

I don't like to hike that far out on frozen or muddy ground, and I hate to whistle and call Abby up just for a couple of peppermints. So the times that she is up by the water trough when I come out are very sweet during the winter.

Two Socks' ears make me laugh - they are so fuzzy!

This is her first winter and her body is definitely preparing for it!

Craig and I both have been feeling a little under the weather. I haven't gotten my horse tree up nor have I made my usual holiday scene with Little Lynn and Circus Girl.

I do have some green and red ponies up on display, complete with two sets of sleigh bells made by Jennifer Buxton.

On a sadder note, I have misplaced Mini Dandy. I've looked everywhere for him to no avail. I sorted out two closets last weekend and threw out tons of stuff; I'm concerned Mini Dandy may have been tossed, too. I went through the trash that is still inside the house but didn't find him. I'll keep looking, but my hopes are dwindling.

I'm still not feeling 100% so I will close. Before the Christmas Card of the Day, though, here is a fun song called 10 Days to Christmas by Ho Ho Hootenanny that you may enjoy. If clicking on the photo doesn't take you to it, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1augtG1dEKs
