Alayne got this shot of a frosty blind Lena this morning having breakfast. I probably should have titled this post, "Leave Me Alone -- I'm Eating," because that's kind of the expression she has on her face. (That's blind Nikki next to Lena.) The past few days we've had an ice fog that coats everything in frost, and then it stays that way until the sun finally burns through. For the horses, the frost gives them white eyelashes, the tips of their ears and the top of their mane, as you can see on Lena. (Click on photo for larger image.)
Here's what it looked like around Beauty's Barn this morning ... the sun was trying to get through the fog but it would be another couple of hours before it succeeded :
So beautiful! I love the pictures. Stay warm, hopefully it has warmed up a little for you all in the last week or so. We have warmed up quite a bit.

Burrrr! Everyone at RDR surely has "true grit" to live in those conditions and stay so good natured! God bless you all.

Of course that's Nikki next to Lena! Who else would it be??? :-)
"Ice fog"; first time I've ever heard of such a thing. Lord have mercy (as my mom used to say)!
Thank you so much for taking care of these beautiful creatures. I'm not embarrassed to tell you that there is a kiss print on my computer screen right between Lena's eyes!
Are Bo and Rosie reunited for the winter??

Lena,
We love your haircut!
Stay warm! Hopefully, the worst of the bitter cold weather is behind us.
Sending love,

I forgot what it's like to have that amount of snow. I'm originally from SD and remembering shoveling.... and shoveling.... and hibernating.
Lena's right... who wants to be watched when you're trying to eat?????

I know that fund raiseing is a big challage, here's an Idea. We need to find a way to package up all that snow send it to Southern Calif,Arizona,N. Mexico. I am sure School Kids would pay big money for a good SNOW day or two.
Be safe and keep warm.
