Tired of Winter

I lived in Minnesota for (far too many) years. The winters were long. Very cold. And (far too) windy. Taking care of the horses was a pain. Water would freeze. Hay was so heavy. My hands would become ice. Hooves covered with ice and snow gave the horses an xtra 3 inches. Which can be very hard to walk around in. And cleaning that frozen mess off was near impossible at times.

Winter is easier here--in the Ozarks. For horses. And we humans who live with them. Still--all of us are tired of the cold and snow. And looking over the fence--to the other pasture. The grass is under there somewhere. We're tired of winter.
