Bandit doing a hand(hoof) stand kicking out the old year and ready for the new. Happy New Year !

Bandit grooming Bud, they seem to be saying ok, enough of this cold wind and frost, can we please come in now?

Peter exercising Bud, while Bandit gets his own exercise

Fred & Pete making sure the couch doesnt move, Christmas Eve with friends and their family.

Christmas Eve already!! Its been almost 2 weeks since my last blog...... not much new is going on.. In January I am taking Bandit to a skijoring clinic, I am pretty sure he will do okay since he has pulled a sled being dragged on grass.. I would think pulling a skier gliding on snow (if we have any by then) would be much easier. We should have fun anyway.
It was pretty nice here today...38 degrees... wanted to get a ride in but it didnt happen :( Maybe tomorrow where we have no big Christmas plans. Just me and Fred hanging out at the old homestead keeping warm with the woodstove.

sign on wooden gate, tried to capture sun in sky, Bandit and Bud sharing secrets.

Fred " reading" Uncle Henrys.....hard to read with your eyes closed.

This was our first snow, didnt last long!

Good friends, good horses and a good day for a ride.

We played tourist and went to Nubble Light and then on to Kittery.

Jung In was supposed to leave at 6am on Sunday, flight was delayed til 8am, which meant she was going to miss her connection in NJ. She finally left Portland airport after 11am and flew to Chicago and then on to Seattle. Poor kid was some tired by the time she got back to school. It was a good week having her here.

From start to finish, Jung In made this giraffe puzzle out of black walnut, also made an elephant.

Jung In in one of her usual positions, she is under those blankets, Thanksgiving day with Steve and Elaine.
