Peanuts

Tess inherited a pony named Peanuts. She is thrilled. Here is Peanuts on his first afternoon on the place. We inherited him from the babysitter, Dana and her family.
After Eric got home from guard the other weekend, we went into Glendo and picked up Peanuts and brought him home. His prior masters came along to make sure his new set up was approved.
First photo is Maddy on Peanuts.

Finally, Tess looking very serious





This is just an old tree I saw and thought looked cool. It was only a few yards from where the fire was, so I figured there was a reason it avoided the flames.

We finally got a little snow and the crew went sledding this morning.

We have had a nice long Christmas break. Santa Clause came to our house and delivered some little cowboy boots with stars that light up when you walk. Of course any real cowgirl has to wear her hat too, and outfit her straw for cold weather conditions.

We did lots of napping.

And we made some Christmas decorations.

Eric woke up in the night to find the ridge to the west on fire. A power line had blown down and started a prairie fire. After a long night and morning of fire fighting with help from the rural fire districts of our county we got everything put out. But our hearts beat fast for a while.
