Sled Riding At Pure Water Pastures

We got a couple inches of snow last night, much to the delight of Timothy.  His snow playing and sled riding time has been limited during his brief 5 years of life, so when he wakes up to a snow it is still a very magical time! He was glad that Simon joined him for a bit of sledding, even though Simon did not stay out as long as Timothy did.  It was cold, but at least it was sunny.  I took a few pictures of our arctic adventurers as they were braving the cold and having fun.

The yard beside the house is a pretty good sled riding hill.

Watch out below!  Coming down the hill!

Here are the two snow loving brothers.

Timothy had fun sledding all by himself, too.

Timothy was giving a two thumbs up rating for that sled ride down the hill!

After playing in the snow it was time for lunch and an afternoon of work.  The animals had to be taken care of at Johnson County and there was work to be done in the house there, too, so we all spent the afternoon at Pure Water Hollow.  I did run to town to do some banking and get some kerosene.  I love getting paid while on vacation!  

I decided to buy a stock tank heater while I was in town and had money in my pocket.  They are predicting a few more inches of snow for Sunday and then below zero temperatures Monday night!  Both Monday and Tuesday may only be in the single digits and since we can run an extension cord down to the field at Pure Water Pastures, I thought a tank heater might be a pretty neat feature.  It's worth a try, anyway.

I'll try to come back here and let you know how it goes.
