A break in the weather?

So us ponies are starting to think maybe the white stuff will go away.   You  know, when we look around, there is still white stuff everywhere.  Just like there has been for a really really really long time.  Us ponies made trails where we always walk, so the white stuff is tromped down along there and by the nets where we get our hay, but other places, the white stuff is over our knees, so it is hard to walk there.  We run around over by the nets along the big logs fence when the lady brings our hay down, so from outside the fence, it looks like the logs are only about as high as our knees, but we can't actually get out there, (probably) because it is just an illusion.  If we go right up to the logs, they are not as high as when it is warm, but unless we can knock the logs off, they are still too high for us to want to jump over. But even tho there is white stuff and it is cold and fog comes out of our noses in the morning, the days are getting longer and when the sun is out, our backs get really nice and warm.  There are some non-tasty bushes that are starting to turn red, even tho they don't have any leaves on them or anything. This morning, the lady was throwing hay in to Krissy and her pony band and they have a little white and red bird house hanging on their fence, back behind their shed.  The lady hardly ever goes back there in the summer, but she has been throwing hay there so that the ponies can eat it out of the wind.  She flipped up the red lid of the bird house and said "Oops!  Sorry Mrs Bluebird!"  And most telling is that us ponies are getting itchy. My beautiful winter fur is not coming off, but it is starting to itch.  That means the lady is going to have to start coming back here every day with her combs and brushes and scratching on us and bringing us lots of carrots. Otherwise, why would we keep her around?
