winter wonder

Wow!  There is white stuff everywhere.  It is on the trees and the bushes and the ground and the logs and the fences.  The white stuff comes up to our pony knees so there is no nice grass to be seen anywhere.  At all. But under the white stuff it is gray and wet and squishy -- so really fun to walk in!  Yesterday the lady came back to see us and bring our hay on the big orange machine. The orange machine holds the hay up in the air in front of it and it grumbles the whole time it is running around, whether it is carrying hay or not.  After the lady gave us our hay, she went to look at our fence which is not really fence.  Some of it is a white rope that bites and some of it is a long ribbon like a pony would wear in her mane if she wanted to try to look as pretty as me.  The ribbon fence bites too a little bit.  But we couldn't see the rope or the ribbon too good because it had a cold tube of clear and white stuff around it that was as big around as a pony's leg!  And it was hanging low and sometimes even buried totally in the white stuff on the ground.  Us ponies could have walked right over top of that fence. So the lady walked along the fence with her big floppy feet disappearing  up over her lady fetlocks and she shook the fence and she scraped it with her front hooves so that the tube came off and then the fence came back up to its normal height.   At one place there was a whole big top of a dead tree that smashed down the fence, so the big orange machine had to grumble over to pick up the dead tree and push it back off the fence.  The lady walked all over our pasture and she was really wet by the time she drove the orange machine back to where we were eating our hay.  Then she petted us a little bit before driving right out the gate and leaving. There was either wet stuff or white stuff falling out of the sky all day yesterday and today.  Fortunately all us ponies have fuzzy coats so we don't mind any of it.  And we have sheds anyway if we do.
