Snow Globe

This is what the looked like yesterday morning as the sun was coming up. It had snowed the night before. I had been to a friends house in the evening and it was a white out at times driving back home.
I went out to feed the boys yesterday morning and the sun was shining. A few hours later the snow started falling then another white out. The boys were playing and having a good time. I got a few pictures but missed some good ones.

Gilly had just come flying off the hill, jumped the ravine and I caught this picture of him.

Pokey and Gilly coming to the barn, the snow was beautiful but I am getting tired of the white stuff.

Pokey is saying let's play Gilly as he bits him on the neck. Sometimes I could hardly see them from the house the snow was so thick!

Finally got Gilly's attention so he would look at me as I took his picture. Snowy horse, it was so cold but yet he and Pokey decided to stay out and play in the snow, while I hid in the house and......turned up the heat!!!

Then in a short time the snow had quit and the boys decided to take a nap....on their hay! They did eat it eventually but a nap was in order first.

After the snow stopped I decided to drive out of the hollow and see all the snow. Ok, I didn't decided my husband called me and said get the camera and drive around and look at this snow!!!  Glad I did....

This is an old barn that is close to home and I really liked the way it looked against the white snow. Gilly and I ride past this one a lot. I always wonder what, if anything is still in the old barn.

Tall pines along a road that I drive on a lot but with the snow hanging on the branches it looked enchanted.

This picture was taken just around the bend from the last one. Note the small out building hidden among the pines.

Love the dark pines in this one but the sky was what really grabbed me. Cold out but a really good day for pictures.

Thought this tree was really pretty silhouetted against the cloudy sky, with snow stuck on the branches.

I used my Canon Power Shot SD780, would have loved to use my Canon Rebel but trying to drive a car and take pictures with a big camera that you have to look through the view finder, not a good idea! Yes, I was driving but I held up the little camera and just clicked pictures as I drove, not looking until I came home and loaded the images on the computer. Not too bad, huh?

Still no riding, too cold for me....soon, soon I hope!

More snow....

Gilly has an icy earring this morning and Pokey had icicles hanging off his side, both are wet because they stand out in the snow, rain or anything else. Guess they are happy with that.

Gilly's mane had ice in it too, he was unconcerned and was busy eating his oats while I snapped pictures. Between yesterday and this morning we got about 7 more inches of snow. It has started melting the other day then more came along. It is now starting to melt somewhat also. Snow keeps sliding off the roof and hitting the concrete patio with a splot sound.

The boys waiting for their breakfast as I walked to the barn.

Gilly was on the lookout for me when I started down toward the barn. Pokey is in there somewhere. (click on pictures to make them larger)

As I walked around the granary Gonzo was standing there watching me. Petey and Lucy were else where running in the snow.

It's a good thing that I leave a shovel outside the barn door, for the last 3 days I have had to shovel snow to get the door open.

View of the hillside and the hay field. Can't really see where anything is with all the snow.

Our road, the township guys haven't been down this way in awhile; good thing we have 4-wheel drive vehicles!

My car covered with snow, I wasn't planning on going anywhere today anyway. We are working on the house today, downstairs bathroom. Seems like it's never going to be finished, hoping for this summer, slow work!
