Today I am grateful for:

Our break in the cold weather finally happened today. From nearly a week of colder than -30 C to only -6 C.

I was able to bring the goats back out of the garage. I'm sure they were happy not to be cooped up.

I was able to go for a short walk (only because I didn't get there until late in the day) at the park down the road with Roxy. I fed the chickadees too.

Spending the evening working on my painting. I don't know if this one is any better than many other paintings I've done, but I worked on it a long time, going over it again and again until I hated it less. At least it gave me something to do during the cold spell.

Sunday:

My sweetie is safely back at work, and now he and some other guys got an apartment instead of living in hotels.

Riding River for the first time in a week or more. It was just too cold. Today was still cold, but not like it has been. I saw my riding friend, and another woman I see there quite a bit. I think all of us were grateful to be riding.

Spending the evening working on drawing tutorials.

I've included some pictures, one is the painting I've been working on, and the ponies in the cold weather.
