Did you get the memo?

Fernie, home to ledgary rain. Use to be powder, now it's rain. 

Yesterday I just knew the day wasn't going to awesome, that point hit me at about 7am when I looked out the window and could see slide ways snow in the street light.  Went down stairs and looked the on the back deck, +2 it was telling me. Not too bad, don't have to really rug up for a ride. So the dog and I went at 10am for a ride on the creature.

Wasn't a bad ride unless you count not being able to breath while riding into the wind bad. Went for a nice road hack and then in the field. Text book freak out when the ducks that took off.  Starred at some cows for a bit and a wander home. Starred with out a flinch at Santa trying to blow away and flap in the wind and then plodded off. It seams this pony knows what side is buttered when it come to who hands out the presents. "if I stand here and be really really good, maybe I can get that huuuuuuge bag of carrots next year instead of that crappy bridle I got this year!".

Today it rained and rained and rained. Rain that would make Tasmanian rain proud. Heavy and slide ways. The ride was wet, miserable and the horse is again questioning my sanity for choice of weather to ride in. It was also short and sweet. 15 minutes I believe. I am questioning my own sanity over this weather choice. If there was more green grass, more gum trees, I'd swear I was at either pony club event, opening day of any show in Tasmania, a hunt meet or any day riding between April and November.

So far this winter we've had quite a few dry days and warm days and wet rainy days. The memo is out, it doesn't snow in Fernie any more.The Mushers in town are looking for snow to run their dogs on and sales are up at the bars. It seams that it's not snowing here anymore.

For the horse and I, we're fine with it. Sadly everyone else, is not.

DISCLAIMER: Yvette, Sammy Edelweiss and Schilaci will not be held responsible for any digging out needed after a freak extra credit snow storm blows though the Kootenays, just to prove Yvette wrong.
