We are Shut Down
Winter was going great for a while. We were still trail riding. Sure, we would get a few bad days where it was either too cold, rainy or there was some ice on the river, but we were still getting out. Even Ellen was going on trail rides.
Then we had a streak of below-freezing weather and significant ice started to form. Crossing the river was out of the question for a while. We needed a good thaw to save us. The big snowstorm wasn't that bad. Cole, as short as he is, has no trouble plowing through foot-deep snow. Kevin and I enjoyed riding Starry and Cole on the hill.
I said that we needed a big thaw--not a little one. We had a little one that melted all the snow in the driveway, and then it refroze the following day.
Ice is our enemy, and the driveway is now a sheet of ice.
It is time to work in the arena for real--not every now and then.
There is no relief in sight. It just keeps getting colder and colder. We are shut down.
