My Morning, Revisited

It was a beautiful morning.  
It was cold, but not too cold.  
Sunny, but not at all windy.  
All and all, a perfect day 
to do my daily barn chores,
and then walk the dog. 
I have finally learned to juggle 
the leash, the camera, 
and this new dog!

The dog, by the way, has not had her bath yet.
It's been too cold, so she gets brushed and then goes for a good roll in the snow.  Anyway, that seems to be working, at least until the muddy season hits.  Hopefully by then it'll be warm enough to soap her up and give her the scrubbing that she has earned!

So, here's my morning in photos. 
I decided that it's about time to show my blogging friends that life goes on...
Same place, 
same daily chores, 
different DOG ... but as you would guess, 
she's starting to grow on us.

Not sure she'll ever be trusted leash-free.

Good Morning Rhett

 Chow's down

 Cleaned stalls and shut doors

 Polly patiently waits until the coast is clear and clean ...

 and then lets fly with a steaming-hot new pile for me!

 The barn winter ready ...

Blankets off and time for the "DOG WALK"

Let me add that on a day like today, I enjoy it more than she does.

So, It's OFF we go ...

 Gloves, leash, dog, camera and away we go...

 Ending with a treat for the birds 

and one for the DOG.
